I have five finches, 2 are in one cage 3 are in another cage. One pair have had 6 eggs for the last month, but the eggs are not hatching. On the other hand where there are 3 birds, they have 11 eggs and 7 hatched, but every time when I saw a little one inside, in the next few hours it was dead and lying down in the nest. All 7 died the same way. Please help, 4 eggs are left. Also please tell me why the other pair's 6 eggs are not hatching.

It appears the other 4 eggs may not hatch considering the 7 eggs already hatched and now all the babies are dead. It sounds like there are too many birds in the cage and nobody was taking care of the babies or one of the other birds has killed them. You should only keep a pair of birds in one cage if you want them to reproduce and take care of there young. I think in your other cage more than one bird has laid the eggs in the nest and the birds are fighting over the babies that is why they all died. In the other cage I am not sure if the eggs are fertal and if the birds are sitting on them. If you don't see them hatch in 15 days from now it is time to throw them away.
