Went in shed today to clean out as planned plus photo of youngster but sadly it had died,

Dunno why all ok yesterday,

Emmy, yes first round for them, but that's  bird keeping I suppose,

The other 2 in another nest are doing well (fingers crossed)

Trevor ?

[First young]

All,

      The nest in question only had one young, now 14 days old,

I shall try and get pic on Sunday when I check them,

Also I have another nest with 2 skins in approx 3days old, parents for these are BBLB/OB X LB/OB. 

So fingers crossed on these. 

Thanks for reading,

Trevor ?

Emmy,

           Don't see much of them in mornings when I feed. I know I've got lights in cages but I tend to leave alone. 

I regually check all cages/nests at weekends, 

Other pairs are sitting on eggs, so this mild spell does help,

I only want to have one brood for each pair as the young will be a big help for my 2016 project.

         I've got six pairs down of my new birds, hopefully I can have then some of mine then to use for 2016. 

Just the one brood though each,

Trevor ?

[First young]

All, 

     Today I have my first chick 2 days old,

This is from my new birds, picture is on site of the males in the bath,

Still long way to go but keeping fingers crossed.

Clare,

Trevor ?

[The Long Wait!]

Emmy, 

            Thanks for bringing me into the conversation, how embarrassing ?

Andy,

Thanks for comment,

I had an unplanned result and I will post photos at a later date,

Had to laugh not quite what I expected,

Trevor.

[Orange Breast.]

Emmy,

Yes will do, thanks for your interest.

Trevor.

[Orange Breast.]

Hi Emmy,

There's 3 young,

One I think is Deffo OBBB (top one),

At start of season this was one of my plans to set up like this in an aviary situation,

I does feel good when a plan comes together,

All the best Emmy,

Trevor.

[Orange Breast.]

All,

A few months ago I erected a new aviary due to my other one having rot in wrong places.

I decided to split the aviary into to sections one half for blacks and one for orange,

Used plastic boxes instead of the normal wooden ones,

Today I looked into one box to check and this is the result,

This box is in the orange part of the aviary,

Well pleased with result, one of my better ideas,

Thanks for looking,

Trevor.

[Grey Cheek]

Nick,

Nice male bird there,

Well done,

Trevor.

[Bc Chicks: How Many?]

Emmy,

I wouldn't give them condition seed or the fruit/veg either,

It seems you are giving them enough,

Good luck with your hew comers,

Trevor.

[Bc Chicks: How Many?]

Emmy,

Have you another pair with young of the same age ?

You could foster some over,

Failing that I would leave it to them to bring up,

Yes it will be a big job for them but I'm sure you'll make sure everything will be there for them,

Hope all goes well Emmy,

Trevor.

[Adding New Birds]

Bee,

Yeah can't see a prob,

But just keep an eye on them to be positive,

Trevor.

[Adding New Birds]

Hi Bee, Should be ok, I would put them in as early in the day as you can,

Then they have a full day to get used to surroundings ie water, food etc.

Hope this helps,

Trevor.
