Re: Eggs

ok thanks :) yeah last season both of them were only around two years old and i introduced the male a bit late.. but hopefully this time they will be fertile. So different sized eggs doesnt mean there is a problem with the hen or anything? The egg isnt an unusual shape just slightly larger

Eggs

My ringneck has laid three eggs and she has been sitting on them for a week or two now, i was just wondering is it normal for the eggs not to be the same size?

Should I replace my male ringneck?

Hi everyone, Last season I built a nesting box with saw dust inside and put it in the aviary.

Grass??

I noticed today when I looked at my ringnecks that one of them was rather enjoying a blade of grass? Is this alright for them?
