I always leave the cock bird with the hen, unless he’s being a nuisance the cook bird helps the hen to feed their young. Nest changing only once they have fledged from their nest. That’s how I do it, works for me. Thanks for sharing nice video 👌

How would I introduce a new male? I currently have 2 gloster canaries, theres a male in with the chicks and hen now (chicks are 3 weeks old in 2day) both female and hen are feeding chicks but mainly the male My question is, when would I be able to separate hen from chicks and current male, to be able to introduce a NEW male for them to breed. I have them in a split breeder cage, they currently have both sides to themselves (split board taken out) As I am wanting to breed her to a consort gloster canary. Currently male is crested Hope to hear soon! Thank you

Theres a good chance that she is wanting the chicks out of the nest so that she can use that same one. Did you have another nest present when you reintroduced the male? Sorry about the loss of eggs

yeah thats tough, you would either have to wait until chicks are weaned and then introduce the male or maybe try another male if you have one available to see if that works better for you.

Sometimes it takes a while for the hen to come out of breeding condition. Reduce the amount of egg food and once you start reducing the light or increasing it to past 14 hours that will take her out of breeding condition and usually will trigger a resting period for them or a molt.

Yes I agree with Anthony Redmond. You should be fine to clean the cage out. Try to be careful, and non invasive as possible while cleaning the cage.

You can put a new nest in the cage with nesting material and the hen will build a new nest and start laying her second round of eggs. When she starts sitting on her second clutch the male will take over the feeding duties with the babies and will feed them until they wean. Once the hen has started sitting on her second clutch I will usually try to put a divider in the cage so the chicks and the male are on one side and the sitting hen is on the other. That way the chicks wont disturb the hen while she is sitting on the eggs. Best of luck and I hope your mosaics hatch out some chicks for you.

sir i have white yarkshire female canary...the problem i face is that this is her 1st year to breed... she layed 4 eggs but unfortunately all 4 eggs were layed shell-less.... what to do for she is ready to start her 2nd clutch

If they are she’ll-less then stop breeding her for the year and let her rest. She is calcium deficient and needs to build up her reserves to be able to lay proper eggs the next year.

No they will both feed. The male will take on most of the feeding after the chicks are a couple weeks old.

Is the male singing? I would put them next to each other and when you see them feeding each other through the cage bars then you could put them back together.
