Title: something cheaping in my back room
Post by: feldar on October 04, 2011, 10:10:15 am

Ok i know it's not very smallholding related, by my budgies who i hadn't really intended to breed have just hatched the ugliest ( but cute) baby i've ever seen.
I could hear some cheaping from the box this morning and there it was. I hope it turns out pretty mum and dad are a beutiful yellow mottled green.
I'm used to fluffy cute babies cause i breed cavies and sheep

I'm not very good at uploading photos on this site, tried it with my piggies and it didn't work,  perhaps someone computer friendly can help me  have to be in words of one sylabil though!
I will try and get some shots of it.
We have the budgies in a friend's breeding cage cause i rescued 6 of them from a young lad who couldn't look after them. We've got 3 pairs in 3 big cages and i've ordered an avairy to put them in. Never thought they would go and actually breed properly.
We have one pair that are always laying eggs but nothing hatches so i thought this pair would just do the same. So it was a big suprise.
Frantically reading up on budgies now cause i don't really know what i'm doing when it come's to breeding them!
