Best I can do is a link, this is on my breeding journal but I guessed not many people would look at it so here it is My first egg is definitely fertile! helllooooooo little chicky!

Edit: I managed to get a better video, the other phone can't pick up the embryo at all but I was more prepared this time and you can really see the heart beat, so I have changed the link below to the new video, hello chickadee!

That's awesome, congratulations! arty:

Thank you! This is what I mean about the chick appearing overnight lol, yesterday all I saw was a dark area that may or may not be a chick and some things that may or may not have been veins, having bred pigeons I knew that was the beginning but wow today there's the whole shabang! Veins, embryo, heart beat, I'm over the moon

I'm going to try to get a better video from the other phone, I just downloaded that flash light app, which I meant to do yesterday before I saw the heart beat and was all like WHERE'S MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The two year old brought it to me, so thanks to him we have this video hahaha

How exciting! Or should that be egg-citing

This will be so amazing, documenting this soon-
to-be beautiful budgie from the very beginning.
I don't know of anyone who has baby pictures
starting this early! :thumbsup:

I have changed the link on the first post to the new video, at first its a bit blurry but I move back a bit and it becomes clear, much better video of the heart beat

I do have sad news though, for some reason egg 2 is addled, I can't see any cracks in the egg, it looks perfect, but it has air bubbles inside, I will discard it in a few days since it looks whole and not a danger to the others, so she can lay another. I have also added the liquid calcium so she can do this without exhausting herself. Still I think she is doing very well so far

Couple of pictures of the eggs today. Egg one on day 5 of incubation, the chick is growing! and egg 2 on day 3 of incubation and it has a small embryo with a flickering heart beat and veins!!! Chick two might make it yet, if it does I think that would be a keeper......

Thanks for sharing this. How exciting!
Please keep the updates coming?

Will do Skye, they might be a bit random though with my work hours

I have a journal here:

Just in case you didn't see, it has more photos, including Sukis big behind just before egg three arrived I should be able to see if egg three is fertile in two days, and egg four is due tomorrow afternoon, she lays around 2-3pm without fail so far hehe, nice and predictable, thanks Suki haha

That was amazing, I didn't know you could see it that early!

 

[Azurei]

Yeah they grow fast! One day I'm candling and think I see something, the next day veins, embryo, heartbeat, all right there! Luckily the mother started incubating as soon as she laid the first egg so I can be sure of how old the embryos are, I'm so loving this journey! Egg four should arrive this afternoon

 

[Azurei]

oops double post!
