Emmy 528 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 Daisymay , Could it perhaps be the eggs were not fertile.? I know when I first got my Fifes I was told to separate them first using the divider and this encourages them to mate when they get put together. Worth a try to find out if it makes a difference. This is a pair of my Fifes just before they were put together (Perches placed so they could get in contact with each other so cock bird could 'feed' the hen) Emmy (ps one of my canary eggs hatched out this morning(Tuesday 19th April) -the other one was dead in the shell) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmy 528 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 I would leave them for a couple of days at least before putting them together - You know the saying: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
