Congratulations that is so cute Once the mama lays the egg how long does it take before it hatches?

I don´t know about canaries but with budgies it took 3 weeks I recall

[BDW]

The canary’s eggs usualy hatches after 14 days. I did not notice when she laid the first egg so I can’t tell for sure. I knew the eggs were infertile because I did the ‘Candling’ test. Putting a light againts the egg to see if there is an embryo within. After about five days you can see blood vessels not just the yolk.

That chick is so ugly he’s adorable! I love the down on his head–and how he topples over after being fed. 😀

Day 7: the chick tripled in size, eyes are open at time, doing well. His wing feathers are developing. I’ll try for another feeding video tomorrow. 😀
