fireman 11,021 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well done and good luck with them delboy ,the cock will tread both the canary hens no problem and in fact it'll keep him satisfied and will help stop him from driving the goldie hen off her nest if he's reved up to much.I've done the very same thing and produced plenty of mules as well as pures and that finch hen will go for her own kind if she can but will mate with other cocks if she can't or hasn't paired with a certain one of another type,the urge to breed is a powerfull one and when a bird wants it she gets it eh ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
