Millet 4,497 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Next year sound's good let the internal working's mature before they have to try and squeeze a egg through a tight straw..that has been shrink wrapped.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 They wont breed this year unless kept indoor with artificial light towards the end of the year but that won't be good for them, best to let nature take its course imo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Read a bit the other day Gnipper and breeding young bird's increases the likelihood of them becoming egg bound among other major problem's that will kill them.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
