Re: Finch Eggs
Hello darwynmiguel
There could be several reasons why your eggs are missing:
Are they getting enough calcium, like crushed egg shell? If not they may be eating their eggs fro the calcium.
Are you sure they are not burying their eggs under nesting material? Once theybuild their nest you should take out all extra nesting material.
If the eggs were not fertile they will either toss them out ofthe nest or eat them.
It might be better to have one male and one female in a cage so the two males don't fight over the female.
It takes 14 days to hatch and you should give them privacy.
Do they sit on the eggs to incubate them day and night?
