A few years ago, a British geneticist, a philosopher and a chicken farmer pooled their resources and concluded that the egg came first. The first egg to have the DNA of a chicken would hatch into a chicken, said professor John Brookfield of the University of Nottingham in 2006. Brookfield and Papineau were speaking at the behest of Disney as a promotion for the film Chicken Little.

To see pictures of budgie chicks, see The Budgie and Parakeet Place Photo Album. The male will feed the hen, and the hen feeds the chicks, youngest first, until they are about 3 weeks of age. Then the male takes over some of the feeding until the chicks are weaned, which is around 5-6 weeks of age. If you want the chicks to be tame, handle them each day for 10 minutes once they turn 2 weeks of age.
