Very imformative thankyou. Im still fairly new to breeding. How common is it that males dont feed the chicks? I bred 2 rounds with a pair and the malr never fed the chicks. So when she started laying for the 3rd time I removed the male and she kept feeding the chicks. He only wanted to feed the hen and mate with her.
Thank you. Some males only feed the hens and the hens can then feed the babies but some males go in the nest box and feed the babies directly when chicks are over a week old. If your male is not attacking the chicks then it’s better to leave the male with chicks and take the hen out especially when this is her 3rd round as you shouldn’t breed hen more than 3 rounds in one season. Keep an eye on male for couple of hours after taking the hen out and if he hasn’t started feeding the chicks then you can always introduce the hen back in the cage.
@@Budgerigar Thank you for your response. Can I ask for the name and brand of the water supplements you use, as well as the frequency you use each of them, ie daily or 3 times per week, etc? Many thanks!
What if the hen already laid an egg in the nestbox among the chicks? If you move her to the new cage she probably will lay egg nr 2 before you give her the new cock. Will she continue to lay with the new cock and how to know which cock is the father?
@@Budgerigar If she attacs the chicks, which happens now and then, I usually just put the hen back in the flight to cool her down before another round. But sometimes they get out of condition and can be hard to get back, sometimes they even begin to moult and then one has to wait for a long time. There isnt that many breeding rounds in a show budgie so this tip is quite interesting.
Great video and information.
Thank you
بارك الله فيك. اخي شكرا
Appreciate your efforts explain things in detailed
Request to make detailed video on feeding routine during breeding and parents having chicks
Thank you
Helped me very much cause one female from my bird room killed a chick only in 3 weeks from the hatch date
Next round, foster her eggs or don't let her rear chicks for more than 2 weeks
Very informative brother 👏, Thank for share knowledge 🥰

Do you use any water supplements to increase your birds vigour during the breeding season?
I use calcium and vitamin D3 supplement in water and occasionally vitamin E with selenium.

It can get tricky but can be handled by an experienced breeder. I'll make a detailed video on this situation soon.
