So I’ve been waiting waitin and waiting as I’ve lost my Callander date for when they should hatched and ones hatched today and there’s another fertile then there’s two fertile in the other nest. IS THE CHICK ZEBRA OR SOCIETY

So just need to explain something


My society laid 5 eggs and my zeb laid 5 eggs 3 days difference in laying
My society’s died
The male decided he’s not sitting on them without her
So I put all ten in the zeb nest
Candles them and 4 fertile
The male society paired with a new one so I put two of the reticle eggs back in his new nest
They are incubating well
So 4 eggs hatching
One already hatched in zeb but is it the society’s or is it the zebs

Sorry can't answer your question, but wanted to say congratulations !! I know you have been waiting for them to hatch.....babies are just so darn cute. Good luck

Sorry for it being confusing because it’s hard situation to explain basically zebs adopted society eggs then two given back to society but unsure which eggs are which

REASON I gave eggs back because it’s the zebs very first hatchlings didn’t want them to have kids of chicks on first go

Hoping a little Ginge hatches for you

Babs ano me too really want a clone of her to pop out would be amazing I think it would be really funny if the society’s get the zebras chicks and the zebras get the society’s chicks

lem2bert thanks lembart it was just an update not really a question I was just trying to say imagine the society’s having the zebras eggs and the zebras having the society’s and thanks

Congratulations! If it's fuzzy, it's probably a zebra finch (some hatchling societies get their parents' down feathers stuck to them). If naked, it's a society.

Icearstorm it’s all skin with very fine white looking hairs coming near top of leg
Not feathers looks like tiny tiny bits of hair

lem2bert I’ll be updating every time I can get close to them can’t wait for the day I find out if it’s a society or a zebra if anything it’s made it even more exiting

The chicks doin well can hear faint tweets and being dfed often however the Mum does not leave the nest box even when dads inside she’s sitting on top of the nest box while he’s feeding

Another amazing dicovery, an egg in the society’s has hatched haven’t been able to see this one yet but I can see feeding and have seen the empty shell being eaten

So two out of the 4
