I have two adult Double Yellow head amazons to breed, can I mount my nest box OUTSIDE the cage ?
My cage is not real big (3x5x5) so I don’t want to clutter the inside of the cage with a huge nest box. I’d like to make a hole in the bars so I can mount the box outside and have the birds access it from the hole in the cage, but I don’t know if the birds will find it foreign and not enter the box. Any info would be appreciated.

I am not planning on breeding birds but I want to be prepared incase my two parakeets have eggs. So first of all, when the eggs are layed how do you tell if they are fertile? do you need to have a nest box after they are layed? How many chicks is the norm? What to do once they are hatched? any info would be appreciated. thanks

I need hen egg info,?
I need hen egg info,?
So we are going to start buying hens and eating there eggs they produce. The only problem is……. I have never been raised on a farm nor do I know the first thing about them (With the exception of picking the eggs from the coop when I was little at Friends house) I just feel like something is missing. Can you really just go by hens and eat there eggs without getting sick? How do I know I am not going to get some parasite by eating it? How do I know the egg wont make me sick if the chicken is sick? Does it even pass through to the egg? Do I wash the egg or not? I am studying my butt off so I know what to do with the hens and I am getting confused. What is a perch? What is a nesting box? what is a roosting box? do I need all three? Can you get bird flu by eating an contaminated egg? If not bird flu what can you get? How do you make sure the egg don’t get contaminated? Please!!!!! someone help me, I am begging you! So, I know my chickens will have everything they need.
Thank you so much Jerry!!!!
