My start in fallow budgerigars

The very first fallow chick I bred was less than one year ago. Gosh, I was so so exited. Seeing that first little red eyed chick in the nest was an indescribable feeling. Unfortunately, he died on the 10th day with a full crop. I'm assuming from French moult because he was completed naked. The other 3 eggs in this photo were dead in shell.
 With one surviving nest mate. A sky blue split fallow cock suffering from a mild case French Moult also. Nick named 'Humphrey' because of his rolly polly statue and friendly nature.
