New Eclectus baby (hoping!)

Postby sidech » Wed Nov 24, 2010 9:32 pm

Hello,

I am hoping that all the stars will align so I can bring a baby Eclectus home.

Here is my story : viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3975

I am in contact with a breeder, she considers me as a potential family, and her hen is sitting on 2 eggs right now, plus another baby that just hatched very early this morning ! :hatching:

I want a male, and I'm second on the waiting list. I'm hoping the guy will change his mind, or that there will be 2 males out of the 3 eggs.

The babies will be parent raised until 6 weeks old, and weaned around 4 months old, which means my baby would come home around the end of march, right after my birthday !

We should know in about 3 weeks the sexes of the babies.

I'll post pictures as soon as I get some.
