Dead female
Dead female
My female has died in the water. Now it had 6 eggs that are being incubated by the male. Because of my child I must buy a new female. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear about the female.
When you get another hen - do not put her in with the male until the eggs have hatched and are weaned. Otherwise, if you do put her in with him, he will probably loose all interest in the eggs.
But since you should 'quarantine' the new bird for 30 days after she arrives in your house - there should be no problem. Best wishes for the male and the eggs.

What kind of finch ? sorry for your loss,but if the male is setting on the eggs,there is a chance that he will continue to set and he can feed them without a hen it does happen. Are you giving him egg food and a good diet he will need it to do his job good luck
