I am having a similar problem with my blue pallid hen. If anyone/anything goes near the avairies she is off her eggs and checking things out. Her first clutch of 4 eggs ended up being infertile(from not sitting properly or not mating correctly I am not sure). I took them out at around 30 days so she...

Hi Eshana I am definitely keeping 1 baby, Lushen has been kind enough to agree to taking a baby as I had asked earlier for either a blue or grey pallidino baby from my Little Grey from his pair 2. So we will do a swop at some stage. Then I will sell the 3rd baby. That way I will be able to see the o...

McmillanBirds

Oh yay!!!! :D I am so glad. Last year Tux and snowy laid 5 eggs. All 5 babies hatched. A week and a half after after what I had though was the last baby there was another baby in the nest. She must have laid again after all of her other eggs were well into the incubating process. Sadly, because it w...

The photo that shows major red eyes the flash was on. Their eyes are still red but have deepened/dakened in colour. Toenails still clear.

Will try get of them this afternoon after work. Weather is a little cloudy here today so I hope it doesn't rain.

Hi guys An update on the babies. Pictures were taken yesterday, day 26. Here is where the pictures do not do the birds any justice because they look more yellow than what they truly are. http://imageshack.us/a/img210/6388/jellytot26.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://imageshack.us/a/img140/7706/...

Hi all Just a quick update. Juliet is looking much better. She has put on weight again since taking her babies put. This pic was taken of tux and snowys babies at day 15. Last week friday. Our mulberry trees are starting to bear and drop fruit above their avairy so the babies have it smeared across ...

Hi Eshana

I forgot to add, you will only be able to tell the sex of the baby when it is 2-3years old. If it is a male it will get a dark ring, unless it is a lutino/creamino, it will get a red ring, or albino in which case it won't get a ring at all. The only way to tell the sex of the bird earlier is to get ...

Hi Keiri The ringneck should settle down after a few days. They become nervous when their environment changes when they are young and come right after a few days. When I sell my babies(at 4 weeks and older), I generally tell the people that it will take a few days before they start eating properly f...

Hi everyone Have picture updates although not the best. The weather has been miserable and I am unable to open some of my boxes as the wood has swollen and the doors are wedged closed. I was able to open the majority using a knife to wedge open the door. The 1 I was unable to open at all so put my c...

McmillanBirds

Hi everyone Molossus, I am so sorry to hear about your babies. The weather has been absolutely miserable. I hope you find the source of what was wrong. Lushen, you told me of your loss this weekend, have the babies started hatching yet? Is the mother coping? I lost my green hen, Georgie not this wee...

McmillanBirds

Yay!! My Little Grey has eggs with his lady love!! I am so happy!! :) Your lutino hen looks ok to me... I am not an expert though, I would keep watching closely though. All of the wood on my breeding boxes has swollen because of the moisture in the air and I can't open the doors. I am going to have ...

McmillanBirds

Hi Lushen I used to ring my babies between 10-12 days depending on how big they were. Buttercup feeds her babies well, so they are little fatties so had to do them at 10 days, pushing it at 11. I used to wait until the eyes started opening and then try. If they fell off, I would wait a day or 2 and ...

I have just got a picture update of one of my blue babies. They are growing quickly. The lady who bought him/her has named it Spica. He/She is 5 weeks old. http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3384/5weeks.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/787/spicap.jpg Uploaded with Ima...

McmillanBirds

Hi Lushen, I have only read your post now as I have been so busy. I hope your hen is ok. Please keep us posted. I lost a hen due to being egg bound and extreme heat in the nest box(major heat wave), so I know the feeling.

McmillanBirds

Hi Lushen I actually tried taking photos yesterday but because of the weather it is too dark in their boxes, and when you put the flash on it washes out all the colour. As soon as it clears up again I will take more. Atleast the cages came in use for someone lol. Buttercup is a very good mom. I may ...

McmillanBirds

:D and what are the odds of that!!! That would be something wouldn't it. I got the lutino hen as a baby(I got another 2 lutinos from the person 2 weeks later, both of them are hens too). At that stage I had no clue about mutations and genetics. When I went back to the pet store to see if they rememb...

McmillanBirds

Well I have taken photos of the progress of the birds(although 5 days is not much to go on). A 3rd chick hatched 4 days(saturday there were still 2 babies, on sunday there was a 3rd) or so after the 1st one and it also has red eyes. Has anyone heard of all chicks turning out to be females from 1 clu...

Hi there Your bird will be fine. My girl loves hot chocolate even though its not good for her. I will let her take a sip or 2 every couple of months, but I try not drink it in front of her otherwise she starts screaming for it and throwing a general temper tantrum if I don't give it to her. She is 9...

Congratulations!!!!!!

so excited for you!!!

McmillanBirds

Haha, probably! That's so cool though.

McmillanBirds

Don't feel embarrassed. I had never heard of it until 2 years ago. I went to breeder and they were checking eggs and they asked if my phone had a pen light as they had forgotten to bring out a torch with them. I asked them what they needed it for and the whole thing was explained to me. I had actual...

McmillanBirds

Yes, that is basically the theory, but use a little torch instead. I wonder if candles were used back in the day when there were no such thing as torches. I guess that's how the terminology 'candeling' came about.

McmillanBirds

Thats true. The eyes should darken and/or I should be able to see with the pin feathers more ir less. Thats between 3 and 4 weeks. So patience patience patience. I will have to keep telling myself that.

McmillanBirds

If the birds are still that age there could be a possibility that they may not lay but it is still early enough in the season for them to go down. As to your eggs, if my eggs do not hatch on designated date I will leave them for an extra week, if still nothing I will then pull them and candle them t...

McmillanBirds

Hi there

Some birds do take a little longer than others. If she is busy with her nest box it shouldn't be too much longer. Do you know how old the birds are?

Oh well

I wont be selling those babies until I know whats potting there!!

McmillanBirds

Hi everyone As you know earlier in the year I was asking if my 1 male was indeed a cinnamon clearhead fallow instead of a pallid. Well, he eventually paired with a lutino hen. They laid four eggs and the eggs must have started hatching on wednesday evening as when I went to inspect the box yesterday...

McmillanBirds

Hi everyone. Managed to get a pic. The mom was off her nest when I took the soft foods in so snuck a quick peek. The male is a grey green cinnamon, hen is a lutino. The babies started hatching on the 23/08/2012. Last one hatched on the 27/08/2012. http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/9032/buttercupsba...

McmillanBirds

Hi Lushen

Looking at the pic, your 4th egg is cracked. It should hatch soon, unless it was accidently bumped, although I don't think that was the case. Looking good

McmillanBirds

Hi there If I am not mistaken, both of your birds could be (df) or (sf) due to parents genetics. If they are both (sf) birds you will get blue, violet blue, turquoise blue and turquoise blue violet(all in cleatail). If the male is (df) you will get violet blue and turquoise blue violet(all in cleart...

This is the latest pic. It was taken this morning(25 days old) before leaving for work. My mom was going to feed him for me, so his crop is empty in this one.

Hi Ellie What molossus means by egg food is here in SA we can buy what is almost a dehydrated crumble(eggs) with dried herbs etc in which you add a little warm water to soften into a soft crumble food, or sprinkle a little dry onto veggies etc. It is an AVI- Plus product. Can you get something simil...

McmillanBirds

Sadly this can be the case. It could have gone either way. I have the same problem with 1 of my pairs, the hen was handreared. Yet on some of my others that have been handreared they just stare at me as though they are thinking "what on earth are you looking at my eggs for?" and then when ...

McmillanBirds

Hi This is normal behaviour when your birds bond and start to mate. When the male climbs on her back they are most likely mating. IRNs generally mate for roughly 3 weeks(sometimes more, sometimes less) before they lay their first eggs. She can lay anything from 3-6 eggs as a guideline. Birds do not ...

Hi there

Welcome to the forum

Blue is definitely an Indian Ringneck. The correct colour terminology for Blue is a blue pallid although some people still refer to that colour by the older term as blue lacewing.

Hi Ellie Brooders are extremely expensive. I have not had to use one though. On a very cold night if I feel the babies need a little extra warmth I will fill my hot water bottle(with warm, not hot water) or warm up my wheatie and wrap it in a hand towl so as not to harm the little ones. I have had o...
