doxhope 2 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 If you are just starting, I wouldnt try and breed goldie mules this way, stick to a goldie male and canary hen..Ive bred bullie mules, linnet mules and grennie mules using the hen finch, in fact, I would only breed greenie mule using this mating..but goldies There are quite a few lads on here that breed British and hybrids..you should get all you want to know matie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

firthy 54 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Quality mate cheers for the info i always wanted to breed them when i was younger but got broken into twice and gave up in the end im gonna get bk into it asap now! did you manage any hybids out of the goldyx bully??? one thing i did manage when i was younger was some cinnamon greenfinches and normals but thats all i had a pair of apart from the canaries had redpoll cock and a siskin cock and a bullfinch cock! if i decide to mule some birds would you say it is easier if i stick to british hens other than the goldfinch??? You got any other pics??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doxhope 2 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Yip I got some chicks off that pair, but the bitch started eating her eggs beofe I lost her later that year.. The goldie bred mules for me every year for 4 years, and some goldie x greenies..he would mate with your finger if you left it in the cage long enough.. If I was starting I would stick mainly to finch males and canary hens..unless it was bullie mules..But like I said before, greenie mules I always use the female greenie, they are so easy to breed with canary males its unbelievable..the best linnet mule I ever bred I used a female linnet and a crossbred Norwich x redfactor cock. This hybrid I showed 4 times and won each time, its off the pair in the photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
