Question
i woke up this morning to find my female finch looking very unwell.yesterday i noticed she had laid an egg. she has just recently laid 3 eggs witch has hatched.. when moving her to an hospital box i notices she had lost allot of feathers on her back . which looked very sore. please advise me on what i can do.

Answer
The poor girl. She sounds sick. Get her to the vet asap. The feathers could be from her pulling them out or them falling out.
Best to get rid of the egg she laid. When you take her to the vet, take her babies too, what she has she may have passed on to them
