Hi To All
Just wondering if anyone here can tell me is it too late for my ringnecks to lay eggs?
They have been doing their thing and working the nest for a few weeks now. When should I be worried, when is it definatley too late...

I have 3 pair, no eggs yet.
Pair 1 - Hen is looking in nest box and starting to get aggressive with the Cock she is in with
Pair 2 - Hen is looking in nest box
Pair 3 - Hen has no interest in nest box yet but Cock was feeding her a few days ago.
Hopefully it won't be too long until they start to all breed.
I have been told the breeding season is July - December.....it really depends on your birds

I have 7 pairs of ringnecks, this is my 4th year with ringnecks and second time to breed with them, as some weren't mature and was in the middle of building their flights.
Hey Jeremy, I am sure I am the person who bought your green split blue cock bird from you . I seen a while back their you were mentioning that you had it sexed and was told it was a hen but low and behold it got a ring...Well I have pair him up with a green split blue hen so I am waiting to see what happens.
