What food should I feed to a canary hen to feed her chicks?

Question

I have a pair of canaries who have a clutch of eggs. She has been sitting on them for almost two weeks now, so the chicks are likely to hatch very soon this week. I was wondering if there are any special food that I should give her to feed her chicks? I bought her Quicko egg food supplement which has an oatmeal consistency when water is added, but she never touches it. All she eats now are seeds and eggs. I see on youtube that many people leave out a paper dish of some sort of oatmeal type food for the hen to feed her chicks. I don't know what it is. If anyone knows or have any suggestions please tell me. Thanks!

Answer 1

are you positive the eggs are fertile? and if you are, call up petsmart or a bird specialist using the phone book, and ask them! and good job thinking ahead of time on wat the birds needed!! good job!
