Breeding ???
Since I know very little about breeding finches but my finches are laying eggs, will a male finch breed with more than one female and if so how many? Right now I have 7 finches together--3 female zebra's, 2 male zebra's and 2 society females, I am going to be seperating them and wanted to know what would be a good split, or do I need to get more males?

You should get another male zebra and if you have a cage big enough for them to have there own privacy they can all be kept together. If the cages are small then you should have a male/female zebra pair per cage. Societies are very passive and can be housed with other passive birds. They would be fine with the zebras if you had a big cage that would be suitable for all of them. And yes a male zebra will sometimes try to breed with a female usually one that is added to a cage with exsisting males.
