How Many Clutches Per Year?
All the more experienced breeders who care properly for their stock, the ones I know at any rate, will tell you that TWO clutches per year is the limit for their canary hens. Some will allow only one clutch to be raised if the hen is doing the raising of the babies all on her own, without the help of the male. Note that a ‘full’ clutch is generally considered to be three to four or more babies in the nest.
