RachelD

sadly both dies

RachelD

ok so i have 4 babys the oldest 2 are 15 days and i took them out of the nest 3 days ago because i was worried about the 2 smaller 1s and thats going really really well. my problem is the 2 small 1s (1 is 9 days the other is 8) are really really small, 1 has a very very over feed crop and has dark s...

RachelD

i think ive got it sorted now, i dont think they were properlly full but feeding really well the last few feeds, there pin feathers are just starting to come through cuuuuuuuttttteeeeee

RachelD

is this normal, my babys are 14 days old and seem to empty there crops quite fast should i feed more or hold off for a 4 hr scedule

RachelD

and 2 huge 1s in the same nest the smaller 2 are about 7 days younger then the oldest 2 but they are sooooooo small compared to the bigger 1s who obviously get all the food, im going to hand rare the bigest 2 they are 10 and 12 days old, can i pull them now or should i wait a bit longer, i feel sorr...

RachelD

the 4 look like the doing well , shes a really good mum, there are 2 eggs left in next today is the 25th day since theve been layed, the chicks are moving them round alot, i did candle them and there are chicks inside but im not sure if there alive or not when should i take these eggs out

RachelD

I know birds breed all the time in the wild but my eldest chick is 7 days older then my youngest and alot bigger, there are 4 chicks so far with 2 left to hatch, should i pull the biggest ones now for hand feeding or do you think theyll be ok, the oldest is 8 days

RachelD

how old will your oldest be when you pull, and how many chicks did you have

RachelD

second 17th
3rd 20th

theres still 3 eggs left ive candled them they have babys, seems like its taking forever to hatch, the youngest is going to be tiny compared to the oldest

RachelD

theres 6 eggs left and i thought 1 would of hatched my now will they?

RachelD

so far there is 1 baby. there are 6 eggs to go im planning on handrearing from 2 weeks of age but there is going to be some way older then others, the 1 i have was born yesterday and im guessing the rest will be 2 days apart, making it another 12 days before they all (if they do) hatch. I not planni...

RachelD

yayyyyy 1 down 6 to go, is it normal for the male to be in the nesting box aswell?

RachelD

the it took 2 wkks to lay 6 more eggs, so will they hatched 2 weeks apart?

RachelD

are they 2 old to take for handrearing?

RachelD

untreated ply board

RachelD

my nesting box i had made its quite big about 60cm long and 40 wide it had a wee flap down the bottom so i can lift it and see in, and it has a hole up the top then it has mesh wire, from the hole to the floor (on the inside ) so my birds can climb up and down have a look on the net

RachelD

do you have a nesting box in there, im sure when its time they will start

RachelD

im in nz and it started about 1-2 months ago here, normally begining of spring, i think

RachelD

i think shes finally stopped laying and is sitting now, far out it took 12 days to lay all them, you have to have alot of patience while doing this i tell ya lol.

RachelD

yippppppeeeeeee now for the wait

RachelD

She lives inside is not hand Tame, but goes in and outside when-ever she wants, she always flys out to the outside avairy and just hangs out with them (the breeding pair) if i put her in there would the male breed with her aswell?
or would the 2 females fight?

RachelD

yipeeeeeee i also have another egg today

RachelD

I ended up having to pull all 6 eggs out after 27 days no babys the eggs were very cold.
i have emptyed the nesting box and refilled it with nesting material straight away the female (mildred) is back in there preparing to lay again fingers crossed this time

RachelD

im pretty sure shes off the nest now, shes trying to squeze down beside the nesting box, im guessing to find somewhere else to lay

RachelD

do they normally take 24 days? and also how long is the longest they could take

RachelD

i have just candled them and at least 3 of the eggs have babies in them,i couldnt see if they were moving though, i will wait another few days

RachelD

i just felt the eggs and they feel cold to touch, also the male and female ave been doing the wild thing, should i wait or remove these eggs, there are 6 and im very sad

RachelD

thats a big clutch yippy

RachelD

take all the babies for handrearing? my pair are good breeders and the lady i got them off said they had 3 clutches last year, now shes sitting on 5 eggs. Im wanting to handrear them will it be mean to take all 5?

RachelD

the babys out to be handfeed, im thinking 3 weeks is that 2 old?

RachelD

my beautiful yellow girl mildred is sitting on 4 eggs well yesterday it was 3 today its four, so im guessing shes been laying them over the last week, when do i start counting the days untill hatching? also im going to be hand rearing 2 of them so if they all hatch the parents will still have 2. wou...

RachelD

RachelD
