Fifth and sixth chick didnt make it out of the eggs. 7th chick today was found...broken open egg.....chick dead. I believe the hen stopped incubating the last eggs. Two eggs left, and in case they were okay they were put in another nest. A chick from another nest.....a only only chick....same size as these ones was fostered into this nest yesterday and they are all well and being fed. So five in this nest now. Link to comment

Got my first Canary on eggs. Not to worry Norm...these things happen in bird breeding. At least I know that the young cock can fill every egg with this hen and thats a plus. Next round maybe better :budgiedance: I have a yellow crested canary on eggs in the shrub in Kens aviary. Not sure of the father yet. Edited September 1, 2008 by KAZ Link to comment

Photos as soon as I can find the charger for the camera. Ken has put it away somewhere. One of the parents seems to be plucking a little , so I have replaced the door to the nestbox with a clear glass door and put a block of wood in the nest for them to chew on.

Guest JoEl Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Hey Kaz, nice birds and babies. Just some advice when pairing. Well I think you should pair cocks to those beautiful hens that i love, with power with a lot of feather on head. Much like the hens pair your hens with cocks of the same quality. I think you are pairing gorgeous beautiful hens to not such good quality cocks. The cocks are nice but the hens are too good for them. Well I seem to think that when i see your pairings. I don't mean to offend you, but thats my thoughts. Well good luck and I hope to see the chicks through there first moult. regards Joel P.S love your hens Joel... please stop ignoring staff messages. You need to use punctuation in your posts! You have been warned more than enough times. Edited September 10, 2008 by maesie Link to comment
