Hi Linda, I have trouble with my birds getting sore legs, red and inflamed. One breeder told me it was too much protein and to cut down on the egg - do you have any comments. Thanks, Janet

Yes, the sore legs is likely due to too much protein and you need to cut the egg out of their diet or way down. These same birds with the problem will continue to be sensitive to protein.

we have two "wigged" canaries that keep having eggs, but each time the eggs never hatch. this last time one broke open and we saw a fully developed chick inside, dead though. the other eggs also contained dead chicks.

What are we doing wrong? Our canaries get the best seed, veg etc.
