fireman 11,475 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I have paired mine off allready but i had to have a sort out and it was just easier to do it at the same time but no pans will go in just yet but i do have a pair of chaffies this year and the cock is plinking and it won't be long before he's driving her around the flight.chaffie's are the earliest of the finches to breed but saying that i've had chicks in a nest outside from redpolls at the end of feb before now.... We shall wait and see but if they want to go early i won't be stopping them and in the stuff they need will go. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
