Can Zebra finch hatch canary eggs properly, please help?

I have a canary pair where female laying eggs but not capable to hatch her egg for some reason (I don't know why). May I place those eggs underneath zebra finches where they hatching their eggs.

Is size & colour does matter because canary eggs are little bigger and spotted colour.

& what will be happen if the chick comes out, is zebra finch will feed them as they feed her chicks.

Please help me out and thanks in advance.

SALIM.

    You can place the canary eggs with the finch eggs if she has not start to sit on her own eggs already. The finch will treat any baby canaries that hatch like she would her own.

    Ok first of all you cant disturb the female finch when it has ready-to-hatch eggs it will freak her out!

    but if there is no eggs then the finch should be fine to hatch it but yeah it will treat the chick like its own

    second the canary might not like the idea and might attack (if in the same cage) the finch coz it will think the finch stole her egg..

    third are you positive the canary cant look after it??
