The three chicks from my last pair that bred are about 7-8 weeks old now and the cage "the family" is in is a wee bit small for a family of five. I'd like to transfer the oldest one to another cage that has room that currently houses her older sister from an earlier clutch and two other males. Is she old enough at 8 weeks that this transfer would be okay?

I take my babies away from their parents at 6 to 8 weeks old as long as they are eating on their own and that age they should be differently eating on their so yes it would be fine. How old are the 2 males and if they are adults 2 they give the other chick a hard time?

Thanks splat The two males are adults ...one came to me as a found bird so no idea how old and the other was given to me and I think is 2 or 3. The other female is about 4-5 months old and they are good with her so I'll make the switch and keep my fingers crossed

As soon as my babies in a breeder cage are eating on their own they go into a kindie cage with other same age or similar babies.
