Bangersanmash 2,446 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 (edited) Morning guys just a quick update on the bullfinch chicks. I've ended up with 4 out of 5 so not bad for last years birds. Cock bird can't fault him tending on the hen & young. Hens the same great little hen. Looks like there's 3 pastels & 1 normal from the looks of their eyes.

Depending who you got them off too. The fella I bought these birds off. Leaves his birds to do their own thing in the aviaries. Doesn't put any birds under feeders even if the young get left by parents. It's one of them things.. He's a big believer in letting the parents do the job and if not then their no good. That's how you get strong blood and good genetics. This cock bird goes to nest feeds the young with the hen at the same time. Then he takes the youngs shit sacks away to the otherside of the fight. Nothing on the nest what so ever crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah ive heard they keep the nest immaculate mate. I know, good start for me but that's only the first hurdle. Fingers crossed Sam 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
