FINCHforum

So I've set coco my society's male up with a new female for breeding they have met before and been in the aviary and seem to get on so I've put them in my smaller cage with a nest and nesting material mixed finch seeds water and abit of millet I give them veg aswell cabbage,broccoli and sweet corn and so on

Do I need to give the female egg or only once eggs are laid

Here male is
Pearl grey coco

And the female what I call caramel

Fraza

Give boiled egg and egg shells now (to get them in breeding mode).

Give egg shells while she is laying eggs (very important for her to have calcium while laying).

Then give her boiled egg and shells every day again when the chicks hatch. Continue to give boiled egg daily until the kids wean.

Good luck with the new pair.

Okay the male is a good parent but I dunno how the female is as I have not had her long enough it's her first breed with me and is 1 year old

I was told by her previous owner thanks anyway

They having there egg shells and veg and they have built a nest now having fly time

Nest and freeflight
