    Mating behaviors of Parakeets

    I bought what I was told are a pair of Rosy Bourke Parakeets at a swap a year ago. I was told they were young, 3-6 mos at that time. They are in a very roomy cage (huge for a parakeet) with a divider, 6 feet wide x 2.5 feet deep x 4 feet high. They have toys, pine shaving for their flooring...

    Encouraging Parakeets to nest?

    I have two Rosey Bourke parakeets. I was told they were a pair. (I plan to send away for a feather DNA test). Assuming they are a pair, how do I get them to start nesting? I haven't seen any egg laying sofar. One bird (I think is the male) is flying a lot and the one I think is female...

    9+ Mottled Java eggs - NPIP & AI Certified!

    Up for your consideration is 9+ (probably 12) Mottled Java eggs. I say 9 because my hens just got done being broody so I don’t want to promise more, but they’ve been laying great this week. I don't hold back on eggs - I've been known to "give away the farm" so to speak In addition to the 9+...

    Broody Goose question

    Hi, I'm new to geese. I bought a pair of what I'm told are American Buff geese from a friend of mine. They are the absolute sweetest geese ever. Anyway, the female started laying about 2-3 weeks ago. She kind of rolled the eggs around, then gathered them in the nest, then one day would sit...

    Why do folks do this?

    I know I don't post much, but I really enjoy this site and all the wonderful people on here. I've learned so much and met so many nice people. But, I'm wondering - whyyyyy do some people think that an auction is the proper form to critisize the Seller's birds? If you don't like the comb...

    Will geese mate with chickens?

    I recently got a beautiful pair of buff geese (boy and girl). The boy is currently 'dancing' for the female - flapping his wings and squawking. Very cute. They are currently in with the chickens. If the female starts laying (which I'm told happens in the fall), would her eggs be pure goose...

    Do Silkies squat?

    Okay, a reallly stupid question..... do Silkies squat like other hens when they're ready to lay? I'm waiting to tell what sex they are...it's maddening! They should be ready to lay soon from what I've read on here...IF they're hens that is!

    Cochin crests?

    If you're breeding a non-cochin bird to a cochin bird and want to improve on the tail cushion, does it matter if you breed back to a roo with a good cushion or a hen? Edited to change my terminology! I guess it's obvious I'm still learning

    Moving eggs from bator to broody?

    I'm on day 5 in the bator...my humidity keeps dropping, not sure why. (This isn't my first hatch and I keep monitoring the humidity - I can get it up, but after a few hours it drops again. It is kind of dry here this week though). Can I move some of the eggs from the bator to the broody at...

    Humidity and Javas

    Does anyone know if Java's need higher humidity? If so, what's the ideal readings for prior to, and after day 18? (I'm using an $8 Wal-Mart "Acurite" Hygrometer/Thermometer and it's awesome). Thanks in advance!
