The three little chicks are all grown up now. I have moved them into the big cage with the rest of the birds. They are climbing the walls and balancing just fine. They will be ready to go home this weekend.

Update on chicks and breeding pairs

Posted by Bridget Wheeler on Friday, March 26, 2010,
Zeus and Violet's three little chicks aren't so little any more. They are almost weaned. I have been giving them seeds when I take them out for a couple weeks now. They can climb the cage walls now and get to the food and water dishes all by themselves. Sometimes they do get lazy and beg Zeus to feed them. Next week I will be placing them into my big cage so they can get use to new surroundings and other birds.

The second is single factor dominant pied single factor spangle sky blue single factor violet. And we have known for a long time now that the third chick is an al...

Zeus and Violet's three chicks

Posted by Bridget Wheeler on Tuesday, March 2, 2010,
Well its been a wile. Zeus and Violet have three beautiful chicks. The chicks hatched on the 13th 15th and 16th. They are doing great. These chicks are half english half American budgie. It is amazing how much bigger they are from the American chicks I usually breed. I'm not sure of the first and second chicks color mutations but the third chick is definitely albino. She opened her eyes a couple days ago and they are as red as can be. I'm going to start hand feeding the chicks this week. I tr...
