Nest #13 is my Johnny Appleseed Canary Pair.  This is the hen, she has one black wing, he has two.  JA are 1/4 Yorkshire and 3/4 Waterslager. The Waterslager part is what interested me. He does have a beautiful song..Their first clutch was all clear eggs. This nest, she hatched two and they have been very diligent parents., the chicks fledged the nest today.

Two hatched

Pins for Nest #13

Four eggs, two were fertile and hatched the same day (Tue)

The parents seems to be doing fine in nesting and feeding..chicks are slow to wean and do not appear to have the Yorkshire size...and of course I dont know what sex they are, so will have to wait for months to possibly hear a beautiful song? July 4 2015 these two chicks have now fledged and are doing fine in the fledge cage. They are joined now by two others that are 2014 hatches.

" The Johnny Apple Seed Canary is a new song breed of canary. Its concept developed in response to the perceived need by many song canary breeders for a canary that attempts (successfully, time will tell), to answer/correct some wide open faults in the song canary world." quoted from the JA breeder Marion Chester
