pappabear 128 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi all found 1 canary chick 2 weeks old dead in the pan today out of the 4 that hatched 2 dead in the first week so now just 1 left , yesterday I noticed she and the male seemed too be feeding one more than the other despite them both stretching to be fed . so my question is would she possibly be as bad next year this has been her second try but she only raised 1 out of the first nest and I had to cull that as it's legs were dislocated , so not a good start to my canary breeding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
