I'm confused about your answer regarding whether the budgies are related.

How old are the eight chicks currently?
Did you get those eight from a different breeder?
How long have you owned budgies?
Do you have an Avian Veterinarian?

You need a better diet for your birds:

The Truth about GRIT

Before breeding any species, it is important to learn as much about the animals,
their personalities, and the best practices to follow for responsible and ethical breeding
prior to making the commitment to take on the responsibility.
