Increase the Seed and Fruit as it gets closer to the chicks hatching. They should hatch about 28 to 30 Days from first egg being laid.

You could if you wanted too. Ringnecks dont spend alot of time on the ground. Something that you find easy to clean works best. Also be sure to have a regular worming program in place.

So your Turquoise is a Tuquoise Green. If it is Split to Blue then you have a good chance of Breeding Turquoise Blue from that pairing. It is alos known as Pastel Blue.

If the feathers had been pulled out and not just bitten off then they should start to grow back strait away if there was no other damage caused. If they were broken off then they will be replaced when the bird next moults out and gets all new feathers.
