      Do all your finches have privacy when they lay their eggs? I mean do you try to peak through? Sometimes i’ve figured maybe they’re not old enough. It happens with mine, usually they will lay eggs in the boxes without any nesting material

      why do u got the light for

      i would love to see the cycle but my birds are laying eggs but they just not hatching got any tips cos they seem happy enough

    10. dentie01 says:

      now the nest is complete the eggs will follow very quickly getting them to hatch is the hard part

    11. dentie01 says:

      you feed them egg mix which should be made fresh every day available at most pet shops

    12. meason855 says:

      one tip would be that you could add another male or a female. My finches used to do that all the time until one day All 5 of their eggs hatched. Sometimes they lay eggs, but they’re not fertilized by the male.

      do the eggs need sunlight?

    14. kazooka2002 says:

      did you have any success this time around?

    15. kazooka2002 says:

      No! the eggs don’t need sunlight. The parent will take care of sitting on them and keeping them at the right temperatures.

      my white zebra finch has just laid her first egg, but she looks all puffy. Is she ill or is that normal?

      Zebra Finche Have so fast REACTION.

    20. DarkMurmillo says:

      How is she doing now?… How is her calcium intake? Egg binding could be an issue. It occurs when the hen lacks calcium and in the process of producing the egg the shell cracks within her. It is fatal.

      how long did it take for the finches to lay eggs i have a boy and a girl and they’ve been together for a while but she hasnt layed any eggs

      First of all if you want to breed them you have to condition them. By having a nest, nesting materials will do.
