Cock of Hen

Checking for Breeding Condition – With canaries it is often possible to identify their gender even when the young are hatched. But in many cases the breeder is not certain. He may then select gender based on the presence or absence of song.
As we prepare the canaries for breeding there comes a time when we can clearly see the sex of the bird even by a less experienced breeder. If still in doubt this means that the bird concerned is not yet fully in breeding condition.
Closely observe the two photos of cock and hen. They show the cock and hen in the right condition for breeding.
