Hi thanks Ron I hope they will go down again, they had 2 chicks last year and I was thrilled this time as they had the 4 full eggs. But you win some you lose some they are a lovely pair so fingers crossed.

yazzie

Hi the eggs did not hatch I opened them this am and there were chicks in them all there was still yoke in 2 of them but the chick was formed I have no idea what had happened it is such a shame .

yazzie

Hi Still no chicks the first egg is over a week over due now should I still leave them .

yazzie

Hi I have looked at the eggs again this am and they are fertile but nothing has hatched I worked it out the first egg should hatch on the 22nd but still nothing I am at a loss why the are not hatching

yazzie

Thanks for that I was just looking at their records from last year and the first egg hatched smack on 23 days so that is reassuring thanks

yazzie

A pair of my birds has laid a full round of 4 fertile eggs the first egg was laid of the 27 th of last month so by my reckoning it should have hatched on the 22nd I have checked the eggs this am and there is no sign of the egg even been piped any ideas

yazzie

Hi I find that my birds tend to hatch about 40 hours after they pip the membrane.

yazzie

Hi i have been giving more feeds and one has gained 2 grams and the other has only lost 2

yazzie

Hi I will take your advice I do not like tube feeding for the reasons you have mentioned, but it is worrying me the amount of weight loss they are going through. The eldest chick weighed 135 grams and has now dropped to 119 that is a loss of 16 grams over 7 days the second chick weighed 127 grams an...

yazzie

HI i weighed them this morning and they had lost another 4 grams and they had not taken much formula so i felt awful doing it but i tube fed them to fill the crop. The next feed I will give it off the spoon and then if they do not take I will tube again, what do you think.

yazzie

I am feeding baby quakers 5 meals a day so i will now put them back on that. But they are refusing the formula and just hanging of the pot of seeds. Shall i remove them and just put them in twice a day.

yazzie

Hi my baby irn are now 6 1/2 weeks old and i have put them in a cage with seed and water i give them egg food with fresh peas, carrots, sweetcorn, apple, melon, cucumber. I am still giving them 3 formula feeds a day first is 7 am second 3 pm and the third is 11 pm. I am finding they are not wanting ...

yazzie

Hi I have bought my chicks in to handrear, they came in last night and i can not believe they are feeding so well. I am wondering when will the feathers start to grow on them they are 16 and 15 days old now. It is only 24 hours since they came in but it feels like they have been here forever, they a...

yazzie

Hi thanks for the link it is very interesting I wish i was nearer. I am looking forward to friday when i bring them. It is just sorting out a routine

yazzie

Hi My babies will be 2 weeks on thursday. When is the best time to pull them morning or night. How often should I feed I have been told every 4 hours and finish at 11 pm and start at 7 am. I have my spoons ready can you tell me ( i know all babies are different but what is the average time it takes ...

yazzie

Thanks for that i do like the thought of a spoon as i visited a gent who has shown me to hand feed but he uses a tube and i am afraid incase i do some damage. At 2 weeks old will they feed ok from a spoon?

yazzie

Hi I am new to INR and have only had a pair for a few months. The have babies that are now a week old and I am allowed in the box when i like without objection. But when I had them and put the nest box in and they were in the box i always knock the box so as they are prepared and they can move over ...

yazzie

Hi i am due to pull my babies next week when they will be 2 weeks.What instrument will be the best to use as i have never hand fed before.

yazzie

Many thanks

yazzie

Hi thanks for your reply. Is it difficult to hand rear this is my first time and i can not find any one around my area to show me. i have read lots of articles and watched video clips but i am worried i have not seen it done. I have a brooder and spoons (bent), syringes, sterilizer, scales, food and...

yazzie

Well It happened our first chick hatched I went to feed them on friday morning and there it was. I went in yesterday tea time and yes there was number 2. I am thrilled to bits, i have checked them and she is feeding them but i do not know if she is feeding them enough, I can see a small ball in the ...

yazzie

Hi the 1st and 2 nd eggs are full but it was a week before i could see anything in them so fingers crossed and the third will be. I am still worried she is not having any soft food.

yazzie

Hi i had this problem with a budgie who laid soft eggs, I consulted my vet and he told me to up the calcium intake. So i use a liquid calcium in the water , i also add mashed egg and powder the shells in the soft food and make sure there is a cuttle fish available.There is no apparent reason for thi...

yazzie

Hi well this afternoon we got our second egg. When are you able to see the veins starting to grow in the egg. karen

yazzie

Hi they have been together for 18 months, my son said he has seen the hen working the nest box. I have just come in from the garden and she has been in the nest box for at least 3 hours. The lady who we bought them from said if we put a nest box in the should go down so maybe she had seen them matin...

yazzie

Thanks Recio I have only had the pair 4 weeks and i did start giving them soft food as soon as they came i give all my birds soft food all year round. But i think they may not have been used to it before. I was not sure about the egg been buried as this is my first pair of ringnecks i know none of m...

yazzie

HI everyone we have had our first pair of IRN 4 weeks today. Yesterday morning i went in to feed them, I noticed large runny droppings under the perch where the hen sits, so i knew something must be happening. Yes when i opened the box there it was our first egg. I called everyone who would listen t...

yazzie

Hi the hen was out of the box earlier so i took a peep it looks very comfortable but no eggs. They have only been here in their new surroundings 3 weeks so it is still to early.

yazzie

Hi thanks for your help. I work nights so my son has been helping with the feeding and cleaning, this morning was the first time i opened them this week and the hen is in the nest box. Should i go in and check or should i leave her to it? I am feeding them a good quality parrot mix with fruit and ve...

yazzie

Hope things go ok keep us posted

yazzie

That is very odd are they feeding better now

yazzie

Hi i am sorry to hear of your problems. I am also new to the world of irn, I think you are going to loose your babies if you are not careful. Have you tried feeding using spoon with bent up sides, as i don't think a unfamiliar object put in my mouth would be much fun ( give it a try). YOU should goo...

yazzie

Hi yes they are brown to grey but she also has dark green in her too. I have no idea on genetics so i cant imagine what colour chicks they would have lol

yazzie

Hi i have made the picutre smaller hope you can see it . Do you have any idea what colour she is and i am wondering if you would think he is cremino thanks

yazzie

Hi everyone i am new to ringnecks so please be patient, Our new birds have been here 48 hours and i did put a nest box in the hen seems to be glued in the same spot on the perch, but the cock is showing a lot of intrest in the nest box. Is this a thing that sometimes happens? I am just a bit worried...

yazzie

Sorry it has not worked any help please

yazzie

Hi our INR arrived yesterdayand they seem to be settling in ok. The cock is hiding the hen all the time so it is quite hard to get a picture. But this is one i got[/img][/img]
