Zebra Finch Laying again

Post by summert85 » Wed Nov 09, 2011 3:22 pm

My pair of zebra are laying again. 1 egg yesterday and 1 today. :D It's a good start, the female is already brooding :D :D and sitting tight. Keeping my fingers crossed --they'll get it right this time. SO i dont have to foster their eggs.

I am so sad to say, two chicks hatched and found them both dead on the bottom of the cage this morning... :cry:
