I found an egg!!

Congrats!! (Pssst. Are you adding calcium supplements? Mom is really going to need the extra calcium. I lost my beloved hen to egg-bind but most of it was due to stress and other factors...*sigh* I miss those days...)

I haven't added any calcium supplements yet since this was a surprise, but I'll be picking up some today.

Giselle, help me with a question. I am using crushed boiled eggs (with the shells) to supplement Mily's calcium. And she has a Cuttlebone. Should I be doing something else?

Fresh veggies! One thing my birds LOVED was fresh kale, brocolli, bok choy, and carrot tops. However, I didn't combine all the supplements because too much calcium is detrimental as well. What I did was rotate my supplements.

My birds have a "supplement dish" which is specifically for supplements only. During breeding season, I would make my own eggfood (bread crumbs + crushed eggs and eggshells) and mix that in with storebought eggfood and crushed pellets (Harrison and Zupreem mainly). They would pick and nibble at this stuff for a day or two until I threw it out. After they were done with this powder supplement, I would take out the supplement dish and place a bunch of fresh veggies in its place. I hung mine on skewers because I find that keets especially love climbing on them.

Thank you. Mine are getting plenty of fresh vegetables, so I'm doing something right! LOL!!!

WOW that was fast!!

Mum and dad seem to be doing a pretty good job. They switch regularly but when I came home today, I found the egg in the middle of the cage with no parent on top. :\ I moved it back near dad.. it hope it wasn't out there too long.
