Well its that time again =)

[PetLover]

Kiwi is up to 5 eggs today. I hope that all she has. I will be handfeeding these guys this time. I know 3 are fertile. So babies here we come >.<

[Matz]

Congrats:) How old are they when you start to handfeed them and what food do you use?

[abird4u]

ooo i get alll warm and fuzzy when I hear babies. Are they the greens :D

[PetLover]

Matz: in the past I made my own food. But this time I am going to buy one from the pet store. Dont know what kind yet. I pull them at about 2 weeks or 10 days old.

abird4u: The mom and dad are both green. But they both are split to blue. So this last clutch I got one blue and one green from them. They are both going to there new home tomorrow.

Ps. Egg number 6 is on the way >.<

Congrats! My blue has started laying, too. 3 eggs and I've stopped looking. She abandoned the last clutch so I'm be extra careful not to disturb her. I'll candle what's in there in a week and then not look again until I know the eggs should be hatching.

Her mate is the BlueDilute I use as an avatar and she is Blue/Dilute. I should end up with Green/Blue/Dilute and Dilute/Blue from them. Weee!!!

[Taylor]

I'm confused..isn't your avatar a yellow dilute?

[Taylor]

That is so great:) Sprouty laid her 4th. this AM, a nice surprise on xmas AM:D
That's great that you are going to handfeed them this time. It's so much fun.

[PetLover]

yeah I handfed the cockatiels so it should not be that much different =)

[father0fseven]

Taylor --

You're right. I was typing fast -- at work -- and I had just been called into a patient's room. Montana is a Dilute no blue in him (that I'm aware of. His parents are both Green/Blue/Dilute...)

[Taylor]

phewwww I thought I was either crazy or colorblind...lol.. I guess all our little girls are on the same schedule. Just a little smaller, but no different. I'm sure you won't have any trouble.:) Are you going to take them to work with you?

[PetLover]

No the way I did the tiels is pulled them at 2weeks and they went all night without eatting. As I talked to may breeders and they dont get up at night to feed them only if they are 1 day old they do. So I will get up at night and feed them but let them go when Im at work. I talked to a friend that is a breeder and she said it should be ok. They just sleep when Im at work >.<

[kiwismom]

Darren, what do you do for a living?

[Taylor]

Oh that's interesting, you just flip their schedule around. Yeah, I would think it
should be ok.

[father0fseven]

Funny you should ask. I've got three people at work asking for a baby "whenever I get one"....

[father0fseven]

Darren, what do you do for a living?
I'm a respiratory therapist at a local hospital -- usually working in the emergency department or the critical care areas.
