Bangersanmash 3,061 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Few pairs of my goldfinches are down. Pair of classic pieds down hen on one egg laid this morning. Other pair whitetops. Hens whitetop ,eumo,satenette. The cock bird is whitetop , isabel pastel pied. I'm hoping to get a couple of rounds off these then use the cock bird on another pied hen an get some isabel pastel pied coming through. But that's the joys of pieds you don't know what you'll get. That's why a like to breed them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bangersanmash 3,061 Posted April 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 4 eggs upto press from this hen fingers crossed another 2. Be happy with a round of 6 for first round . Then will put them under feeders then let her sit the second round of eggs. Done this many times before it double the amount of young an gives you more of a chance of having a good rate come the moult. Keeps your stock up too , an have more to pick from come end of the season beginning of next year . For the novice breeder it's ideal to get your money back on birds also money you've put in for feed an supplements an you get to keep a few back for your self too for the coming season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
