my chickens are 27 weeks old and still no eggs!!! Why?

Posted on February 5, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I have 3 Plymouth Rock buff Bantams. They are 27 weeks old or there abouts. Not one single egg as yet!
I have a Bantie Rooster with them, feed them layers pellets, fresh water, clean housing, nest boxes, plenty of outdoor space, option to be in or outside anytime of day. Plenty of sunshine (Yes really, sun in England in April!)
Oh they also have grit should they need it. They are all very
healthy clean lovely birds but I just can’t wait for the little eggs!
Is this unusual?
Please someone tell me it will be any day soon!
Thanks

What do I do with bird egg I found?

Posted on February 3, 2012 by admin| 8 Comments

So I went outside today and I saw two little blue brown-speckled eggs cracked open on the grass. One was just a shell the other had yolk pouring out. Then I found one that seems in tact. I put some grass in a box and put the egg in. The I put that under a lamp. What do I do now? I did some research saying it could be dead already and that I have to keep turning the egg so the embryo doesn’t stick to the egg. I saw a nest it must have fallen out of but it’s too high up for me to reach and theres wasps in there so I’m not going near it.

Anyone know how to care for bird eggs? What do I do if it hatches?

have baby parakeets, need info on them please!!?

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

my pair of parakeets have mated and the female laid 6 eggs. As of yesterday 3-24-09 the first egg hatched. This morning the 2nd egg hatched. What if any thing do I need to do. The female never would made a nest. We bought nesting hairs and put the box in the cage but she would not have any thing to do with it. So I had to put straw in the nesting box my self. She pushed a lot of it out of the box. The rest is spread out in a circle in the box.The babies are laying on the bottom of the box. Not the straw.Should I put more straw in the box? The cage is small and so is the nesting box. Should I put a bigger box in for a bigger nest? I want to do all that I can to help these little birds. I have enjoyed my bird very much even thow they will not let me touch them. We have had them for 1yr and 1 month. I got them from my nephew. Them raise birds on their back pourch. But they let the birds do all the feeding and raising of the babies.

parakeet doesn’t look pregnant anymore?!!?!? please help!?

Posted on January 26, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

She looked preggers for about 2 weeks. Her stomach was huge and she looked like she had an egg towards her “exit”. Whenever she went up on her swing, it would tilt cause she was soo heavy. We got her a bird box and some nesting materials that the lady said to use at pets mart so she could start nesting a few days ago..and the next day she didnt look pregnant anymore! so we looked in the box…nothing. no egg..nothing. We have been looking all over her cage and theres nothing in sight so were wondering if she was really pregnant or not..

Whats the deal dudeeee?!?!

lol thanks :)
of course theres a male in the cage..idiot.. lol
and yes..we feed her leftover egg shells.
