Fifth nest started hatching 4/26. Today there are 3 chicks, pic to follow.
Can you count four? All yellow, 4 eggs hatched, two did not, one was clear and the other questionable.
Canaries are born naked and blind. In the nest, they are totaly dependent upon their parents for food. They leave the nest around 16 days old and begin to feed themselves. Soft nestling food such as Abba Green Nestling Food mixed with couscous can be given to the hen/young the second day after hatching.
Chicks may be removed from the parents to a small flight cage when they are fully able to feed themselves. This occurs at 25 to 30 days old.
