Canary moulting management

[Red]

Hi all,

Just posting a few pics of my young birds in moult.

Now that they are weaned off their parents, I keep young birds in small groups with their nestmates. How is everyone else doing?

Colouring up nicely Garry, they look great.

Do you show your Staffords?

Red,

Bred 143 chicks this year, between Border Fancy, 107, and Lizards, 36. I still have 1 Lizard hen on 4 fertile eggs.

Feathers everywhere in my room and 5 minutes after I have swept the floor it is covered in feathers again.

Those are serious numbers Greg. I hope you got the quality you were looking for.

Lots of feathers here too.

Some Borders are looking good in nest feather. With the Lizards you can never really tell until after they have fully moulted.

Probably another month until I have a good idea of the quality.

I was going to show them this year but i have decided to sell all my canary's and to concentrate on breeding showing and judging zebra finches .

Yep I am trying to avoid judging my chicks too early as well.

Show zebs are pretty nice too Garry. I thought about getting into them a while ago but it's easier to work with one variety with my limited cage space.
