My female peachfaces have 2 year and male 7 month,their breeding gonna be successful? I think if they have egg


Answer:

Hi,

For the best chance at success, both birds should be 2 years old before you try to breed them. A young male may not even be fertile yet, and is unlikely to take care of eggs or chicks. An older female is very likely to kill an immature male because she has no use for him.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
