Red Canary Breeding Season 2023 (part 11)

[@SavoySingersAviary]

It's been a strange year for many people around the world...... less youngsters, hard won battles but good quality. It helps to know others are 'keeping on'. Thank you.

Well done glyn nice few young there

[@TheCanaryRoom]

Thanks for the update mate, will you give colour food to the stripped young before the feathers grow back?

[@redcanaryman]

Yes, but I'm not sure if they will molt out the newly grown feathers ?

Hi Glynn. Blimey, can’t believe the hen stripped that many feathers off of that chick!! She must have a well lined nest now?! Strange year this year isn’t it? Very odd goings on with many breeders. Enjoyed the catchup video though mate - keep em coming!!

[@redcanaryman]

Thanks, stripped in a couple of hours. Poor thing must be cold with no feathers, and yes, I agree it has been a strange breeding season 🤔

[@SavoySingersAviary]

I may have missed it in an earlier episode, but what is your nesting material? It looks nice.

[@redcanaryman]

Supablend (animal hair) and cotton fibre

Do you give calcium and vitamins to your birds. Your cage floors look dirty you need to clean e`m all and use some mite spray. Give ya birds some ivermic and worm em too.

[@redcanaryman]

You don't keep many birds then, during the breeding season you should leave them well alone, so as not to disturb the nest, this will make a mess, take a look at some more of my videos and you will see I keep my birds spotless, they are given S76 and I spray for mites

[@RollerCanarysByDaveyGeeNewZeal]

@@redcanaryman Hi yes I've had many birds over 30 yrs done all the show stuff got to champion status in Rollers canarys Ive breed and exhibited Glosters and Norwich and Yorkshires. Sry if I sounded blunt but if you have bald chicks and deaths some things wrong!. I wish you well.

[@redcanaryman]

@@RollerCanarysByDaveyGeeNewZeal 57 years for me, you have a bit to go lol

[@RollerCanarysByDaveyGeeNewZeal]

@@redcanaryman All good. I clean my cages out once a week twice a week when hens nesting they get used to it fairly quickly if you start doing that as young birds they tame up real quick ! I have good solid birds not timid at all.

[@RollerCanarysByDaveyGeeNewZeal]

@@redcanaryman Thank you for Subscribing GLyn. You have some very nice birds. Cheers.
