I have the world's stupidest male zebra finch. Camelot took a year to figure out how to romance his female. He's got that down. Now he's figured out mating. But not nest building. Or sitting on the egg. Guinevere isn't much better.
Guinevere kept popping out an egg a week so I separated them for now. (They have a big enough cage, and I make sure she's got the vitamins needed for egg laying.)
It got me thinking. Is it possible to incubate a finch egg in a chicken incubator? I wouldn't actually DO it - rescuing a 1 day old field mouse was enough work! - but is it possible?
