my sympathies, Feldar.  I had one of my Rhodies croke it a few weeks ago for absolutely no reason whatsoever, less than a year old and had been in fantastic health.  Kept a very close eye on the rest of the flock for any illness but so far no other reason for concern.  It's massively annoying when stuff just dies and there is no reason for it!!!

We now have three budgie eggs sorry this has nothing to do with chickens, but i just had to share

You're allowed, it's exciting 
How long do budgie eggs take to hatch?

[feldar]

The eggs take about 18+ days to hatch but i am supposed to mark the eggs as they are laid so i know which one will hatch first. I didn't do this because she got aggitated when we opened her nestbox, but this morning i found two eggs on the floor of the cage!! a breeder friend said the first eggs may have been infertile and she will get going soon.
