Just thought I'd show you some photos

 

I got Richard and Judy for Christmas.

 

After a few weeks Jusy started laying eggs which kept cracking, so I bought them a nest and they started using it.

They incubated an egg and hatched a tiny little chick.

 

Chick at 5 days old:

And the chick now:

 

Judy laid a tiny egg a few weeks ago, but its clear. Thats it on a 5p coin!!

 

 

Theres a few more photos and the blog about them.

we had a cple of diamond doves in our aviary a few years ago, such gentle birds. How wonderful that you managed to breed them, they're gorgeous birds.

Lewis, I see that you're having problems with the quality of their egg shells - let me know if you want me to pop some Limestone Flour in the post to you.

I've got some thanks, I use it for the tortoise

 

They're all dosed up with limestone flour, grit and cuttlefish. Hope all will be ok soon

Good-oh

How cute are they? That egg is tiny

[Lewis]

Judy laid another egg a few days ago and they are all taking it in turns to hatch out this one. I've candled it and it looks fertile so far, I'll get some photos later when its dark.

 

Lets just hope they don't get bored of sitting or drop this egg!

[Lewis]

The Doves are all fine, we've had a few more eggs that they got bored of, but last night we had a new arrival!

I candled the eggs a few days ago and they were fertile and developing and last night one hatched

It's tiny but looks ok, hopefully the other will hatch.

 

I don't have room for another 2 so I'd have to buy a new cage or sell them, probably sell them.

Well ...

I broke the screen on the camera so I might try and get a new screen and my laptop is broken so I can't upload them.

I`m trying though!
