So the zebs wasn’t doubg well with the chicks not really knowing how to feed better late than sorry so I have grave them my three healiest society’s and coco is an amazing parent so hopefully the two females will copy him

http://www.finchforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38819 It’s the chicks from this post

Fraza when they have hatcheled ? in that topic i can see that at least one has been feed.
did u known that feeding process can start only after 24 hours from hatcheling, how did u juged that the parents are not doing their stuff?!

haroun I left my phone on record atachaed to the cage bars and the Dad one just started at the chicks and didn’t feed he just watched them and this is what he did with his last chicks however last time he abandoned them the Mum did feed but didn’t seem like she did enough

Maybe I am being too cautious I have left two fertile egg in ther one of the cracked one hatched and a non broken one has hatched but I’m hoping one of these two one will hatch so then they can have a second time with another chick she’s back on the remaining eggs

Maybe I’m wrong I’m worried now but one of them wasn’t moving even when I was touching the nesting material it wasn’t lifting it’s head for food and it’s crop was tiny hardly nothing in ther compare to the other one

I

Well I will leave them now anyway I feel kinda bad but I hope they are fine about it I really thought they weren’t feeding them but if u can tell by the pic then it must be true that they was mate I’m being too causios

Atkeast the society’s are on them straight away and I hope they just knew they was there and didn’t sit on them

Fraza

The phone may have disturbed the birds; mine are reluctant to return to the nest or feed if I'm watching or something unusual is in their environment. There's a good chance that they were feeding when the phone wasn't around. That's the unfortunate thing about observing animals; the act of observing can change behavior.

Icearstorm I know yeh I was just so cation didn’t want another dying on me and one did so it was proven the zebs weren’t feeding because this morning I could hear the one still alive tweeting and being fed by coco and the white one but when I took nest down one was dead I’ve put it back up and they are feeding that one again

so Fraza does Coco and his company feed the youngsters zebra

haroun yeh upto now I can see coco and the white female feeding the zebra youngster not seen the chocolate one feed it yet but sure she will copy

Okay the chocolate one is feeding it now all three of them are feeding and all my other society pairs that out free in aviary are all surrounding the nest listening to the little hatchling whistle lol society’s make me laugh

Fraza that is good news you have very very good frosters one day you should tray to frost gouldian lol
And the other eggs do they hatch or DIS

haroun well ONE IS DIS and then the other cracked one hasn’t hatched but to be honest one of the punctured ones hatched which was really weird

And I always when I get new society’s pair them to coco so they learn how to raise chicks and now I have theee really good ones caramel coco and black and white I use these three paired to two other society’s so then when caramel and black&white have a clutch they will teach the others like coco has taught this chocolate one and the white one I will have 9 society’s that know how to bring up chicks soon so then yep that’s when the gouldians will come

Fraza man you give hint on societies. Thank u i remember last year when i was breeding them., i leave with tje parents a juvy male wich participate on the whole breeding steps. Lol.
So if you have very good parents so tray to breed them with the new income one

haroun yeh I will let them breed but I normally I put them in a cage for a few weeks together then let them out to pick a nest then once they picked one if they haven’t bred I will stick zebra eggs in there if they prove that they can bring up the first lot of chicks I will give them a few chicks at a time
