Raymond 618 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I bred some norwichxgreenie last season and they took the goldfinch song prety well. I had them inmykitchen for months playing the CD for them.I love the goldfinch song but it got a bit much.Il be doing it all again this season.All mules will end up in the kitchen away from cock canaries. The norwich and greenie are used together to get size and that into the mule.Well thats why I do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raymond 618 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 The small or mini mules are little crackers. I could of had a bucket load of canaries this season myself.I just bred from the canaries what I will need for next season. Thought I would of had a few more mules myself at this stages. Maybe get 1 more round of mules fingers crossed from a couple of hens I have. Something I do with canaries I want mules from is I dont pair the goldie cock with them.I breed first round of canaries from the hen.When the chicks are about a week away from jumping the nest I put the cock goldie in with the hen. I run 1 cock canary between a few hens so most the hens are rareing the chciks themselves so no risk of the cock canary being the daddy of the second round with the canary hens. Sometimes this way the cock goldie even helps feed the chicks with the canary hen. Ive had good success this way. In saying that I paired a cock goldie to a hen norwich for this season to see how it goes. I would put the devider in the double breeder and take it out in the morning and most the times he will thread her. You do this when you see her building a nest. In the after noon I would put the devider in again and in the evening I would take the devider out and let the goldie into the hen for about half an hour before I put the devider in again for the night and repeat it all over again the next day untill she lays her first egg in which I put the goldie into another cage so he doesnt get the oppertunity to eat the eggs. Ive had 3 round of 4 eggs from the hen.Each clutch has had 2 birded eggs. I have 2 fully fledged 2 half ways there and 2 eggs due to hatch out in about a week. So hopefully by the end of the season I could have 6 mules from the pair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
