Hello all,

I am in Melbourne - I have just started keeping Gouldians (Since Feb) this year
I have Purchased a couple pairs of Normals and 20 uncoloured Goulds to start my foray into the Finch game. I have already had a few bumps in the road so i'm looking forward to learning from you all on this forum

so hi

I might as well ask my first Question Now: One of the pairs i have- abandon 3 chicks 6 days ago one died while i was pondering what to do, the other 2 i have taken in and have kept alive since that time.
The only warm place i have or could think of is a hova-bator incubator which i have set at 25-27c.
the ckicks are now 10 days old they do not seem to be developing as i have read they should
they are feed well all day and eat heaps, but there eyes are not open and they have no feather development, they are bigger of course but nothing else.
I was thinking maybe it was because of the incubator being such false environment? if anyone has any Ideas as to where i should house them or if i should just keep them where they are? that would be helpful

But anyway i look forward to accessing the forum

Cheers Cam
