Thanks for showing me! I've never seen one like that before. Or maybe since I'm new to finches I've just never looked. What a cool tool! 8) If she's sitting tight you'll be counting the days now!!!! Will you candle them or play the waiting game? :wink: very exciting. I'm trying to learn about Gouldians and mutations. Oiy! I love the yellows!

I will just wait. I don't want to do anything to give her a reason to abandon the nest.This morning I cleaned all the trays/paper and food and water and she did not leave the box. I have never had a hen that dedicated.
She really wants to be a mom. Fingers crossed that she feeds as well as she sits!
