Canary Chick


A canary egg just hatched and the mother is still sitting on it, is this okay? I heard that the first couple days, the chick still lives from it’s egg sack. How do I make the egg food for the mother to feed the chick?


Answer:

Hi Batz,

Yes, the female and sometimes the male will sit on the chicks or they will get cold and die. For egg food, you can by a commercial egg food, or cook an egg with the shell washed, crushed and cooked with the egg.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
