Removing eggs from canary nest and returning - 2008/12/25 21:05 We are novice at this. Our canaries just layed eggs and we read we need to remove them from the nest and then return them all at once when she's layed them all. We did that. But the book didn't say anything about incubating the eggs while we were waiting to return them to the nest, so we didn't. We are confused by this lack of info in the book! Does the incubation period begin when the hen starts sitting or from the time they are layed? Will the eggs we returned to the nest hatch if they are fertilized? she is now sitting on them round the clock.

Removing eggs from canary nest and returning - 2010/01/11 19:29 Two schools of thought on this.
Put the eggs in sawdust or sand...keep at 65 degree's F so they dont incubate, rotate daily...Must subsitute eggs you remove with "dummy eggs".
Return eggs when the hen is done laying and she will incubate and they will hatch at the same time with no runts.
Second...let nature do what she intends to do...a smaller bird may not be a sickly bird at hatching, however may need more time to develope.
I'd think you may do more damage removing the eggs (breakage and shock to her) then you could ever do letting nature take her course.
