They often dont wean until 6-7 weeks of age, so make sure you get confirmation from the breeder that your birdie is eating completely on his own. Link to comment

I would put them in the bottom of the cage and they would fly straight back to the nest box. I know they can eat themselves, have seen them cracking seed and eating the vegies but they just go back to the nest box and squawk for the hen to go and feed them. She is looking very tired and thin so today I have put them in the nursery cage with 3 others that are a bit older and although they weren't happy they seem to be doing fine, I'll just keep a close eye on them for the next few weeks.

I may need to rephrase. They spend 1 week in the nappy cage with other youngsters. I place them in the nappy cage always on a Saturday so I can monitor them for two days at regular intervals, any sign of them not eating I place them back with their parents (No nest box as I remove this once they hae fledged)I them before and after work. Prior to that they are out of the nest box and with their parents for 1-2 weeks. Link to comment
