Some of you will know that i've got a pair of budgies set up with chicks at the moment. Mum laid 10 eggs, and last night the 7th baby hatch! Now the past couple of days with 6 bubs she's been doing an awesome job, keeping them all filled up really well. How many can she handle though??? The seventh is due for a feed this morning, so i'll see if Pudding can find it under the pile up of big bros and sisters. There's almost 2 weeks age difference between the eldest and the youngest.
I am expecting to have to hand rear some, which i didn't want to do (i value early nights and sleep ins), but if they keep hatching she definitely will need help.
