Question

How long after "courting" will the 1st egg be laied, and to relise what to do, and how lond they have to sit on them to hatch. NEED INFO!

Answer 1

First, TAKE THE NEST BOX OUT UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE YOUR RESEARCH!!!!

Go to the book store and purchase a book on how to raise and breed budgies.

Go to the vet and learn how to properly handfeed, just in case they toss or abandon the chicks.

Find buyers for any and all chicks that hatch, before you let them breed. There are LOTS of birds out there due to overbreeding that are in need of homes.

Why do you want to breed? Is it to better the species, or because you think they need to? Do you know the background of both birds? Did their parents have any problems? Are your birds on a good breeding diet? Do they have enough calcium to prevent eggbinding? Do they have fresh foods offered daily?

If you cannot answer all of those questions, then I would not breed. If they are not on a good breeding diet, pellets, fresh foods, and very little seed, you may loose one of your birds during the breeding, or have chicks that are sickly.
