Re: Zebra Finch 9th Journal
Pictures, the lady and the one baby, the other must still be under the one egg trying to get out, I cannot take good nest cam pics at night as the light is bad and I don't want to turn up the dimmer to much - I don't want to scare her.

Re: Zebra Finch 9th Journal
Congratulations, I am so excited for you!
I'm a newbie to the hobby and doing the same (keeping a journal). My hen has laid six eggs and on the 11th day of incubation.
Best of luck with your new babies!

Re: Zebra Finch 9th Journal
Nicci_M welcome, and good luck to you, you will find great folks ready to help here, I hope my times above in the opening thread will assist you in your breeding also - give your birds egg food, cucumber and a good long flight path for healthy stimulation, cuttle fish and you are good to go.
