ferretertom 7 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I have this 5 year old hen im wondering if its likely to breed? or is it to old? Also has anyone ever muled a canary cock over a hen goldfinch? All the best tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meroman 105 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Yes Goldfinch hens have bred successfully with cock canaries but the cross is far more likely to get mules to the sticks using a cock Goldie and a hen canary.. At five years old a hen bird of any species of Native would be classed as a bit over the hill but there are exceptions to the rule... I have a mate who bred goldfinches off a seven year old hen some years ago... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
