fireman 10,995 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Fingers crossed for you, the hen is obviously still on form, at this time of year it being so close to the moult (my canaries have started with one or two exceptions) it is possible she may start to moult whilst sitting the eggs and jump the nest, I hope this is not the case it mostly depends on the local temperatures and decrease in daylight hours.... That thought had crossed my mind if she'd see it through,so if there inside bud then keep the lights on the same as they are and she might just go all the way through and rear them.Good luck and keep us updated on progress. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 10,995 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Your mules will be wanting to hear your goldie cock singing to teach them the song or get a cd for them to listen to mate,i've a cd i play to mine as the mules are a little way from the finches.To tell the truth my greenie mules are in the same shed and have been listening to goldie song more than they have greenie so we'll have to wait to see what they will end up singing .
