Breeding Shackleton Yorkshire Canaries

If you are interested in breeding Shackleton Yorkshire Canaries, there are a few things you need to know. First, you will need to obtain a pair of breeding birds. It is important to choose birds that are healthy and have good conformation. You should also make sure that the birds are not related to each other, as this can lead to genetic problems.

Once you have obtained a pair of breeding birds, you will need to provide them with a suitable nesting box. The nesting box should be made of wood or plastic and should be large enough for the birds to move around comfortably. The box should also have a hole in the side so that the birds can enter and exit.

The female canary will lay 3-5 eggs in the nesting box. The eggs will hatch after about 13 days. The chicks will be altricial, meaning that they are completely dependent on their parents for food and care. The chicks will open their eyes after a few days and will begin to feather out after about two weeks. They will be fully independent after about six weeks.
