    Emmy ..... noooo poor lil Squeek :( I checked on my baby finch at 8am and it was fine then again at 11am and it was dead I'm gutted my 1st baby ever I carefully removed from nest with a teaspoon coz I didnt want to disturb the other eggs I tried blowing on it tapping its beak even tapped its little body to give it CPR but nothing  , BUT another egg was hatching on top of it so maybe got squashed I'm not sure , what do you think could of happened ? its heartbreaking isnt it ?

    my egg just had a baby :-)

    well where do I start my birdies have laid eggs first time breeding for me , I have two cages and two nest boxes great I thought what could possibly go wrong !!!  also have a triple breeding cage where I was keeping x3 pairs and found eggs on the floor and flew into a blind panic tried everywhere to get nest boxes with no luck so bought little nest pans from local pet shop put dividers in treble cage attached nest pans and put the 3 eggs I found on the floor into my fawns nest as they had built one , which was fine then she had 5 eggs of her own so divided the eggs between the other two pairs now I dont no which eggs belong to who omg what a disaster ... anyway I'm sure you all get the idea ... but heres the thing some eggs are bigger than others and some shells are turning grey what is going on ? 1st egg was laid 26/11 and last egg as far as I can tell was on the 7/12 but they are all mixed up , I no we all have to start somewhere but what a tado .... please can someone advise what I should do next thank you xx  

    ps quick update .... one of the eggs has just had a baby this morning 12/12/16 omg so excited never seen an egg hatch .... anyway now in panic mode ! mixed up some egg food what else do I do ? any help at this stage appreciated xx
