My Entire Budgie/Parakeet Flock

[Finchbreeder]

Just did the medical assistant thing for a chick with a splayed leg. Older sibling is just fine, but this one has one leg sticking out.
So a ring on each leg, and wool through the rings to gently fix the legs in place. Now wait and see.
Parents are Green cinnamon dilute cock and blue split clearwing hen.
Older sibling is a green clearwing - looks like a boy at this stage, and this little one looks like a green normal, but may be split for clearwing or dilute. Too young to guess at sex yet too.

Guess all mine are to old because not one egg hatched with three pairs so when they all pass then im done.

Do you put them in seperate breeding cages? Or breed them in the avairy by adding nests?
They tend to do much better the 1st way as they are not sticking their noses into each others business.

I had them set up in pairs. I usually candle them but didn’t so prolly should

Your budgies are so beautiful! Out of curiosity, do you have any violets or have you had any in the past?

True violets no but did have ones close to it. The true purple ones are rare and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the US

Mother has quite a few violets in her flock.
They are Danish pieds and Golden Faces mostly.
Once a long time ago she even had a "Parma violet" now that is rare. Unfortunately she could not establish the colour and has not been able to locate another.
Normal Violets are Blue Violet - Parma Violets are red violet.
Some people will tell you they have the 2nd when they have the 1st, but your eyes will soon tell you the truth.
