New to Bird Board

Hi, I am Chris and am new to the Bird Board. I am disabled and my birds (can be seen in my siggy) give me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I currently have a pair of Quakers on 6 eggs. This is not their first clutch but it is mine. I am hoping to breed cockatiels, parakeets, English Budgies, along with my Quakers. I look forward to learning more about the people here on Bird Board as well as their birds.

Thank you, Icednova625 and Marcia. I am so excited about the possibility of the babies. I had only had the Quakers for 3 weeks when Gadget started laying eggs. I so hope that some (if not all) are fertile. I have opted not to candle them since they are so new to me. I don't want to do anything to disturb them. They had a clutch of 5 eggs just before I got them, but their previous owner moved their cage from upstairs to a dark corner in the basement. They abandoned them...I would have too. They have had some very successful clutches in the past so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Welcome to bird board and congrats on the up and coming chickadees. How excited you must be. You must post pics when they arrive.
