Mother Attacking Chick 3 Weeks Old

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi, I have posted a similar question, only this pair this my only one BABY for the season. The mother is mating again and I can her her attacking the baby its moving about and screaming....... I am going to take her out and seperate her asap..... got advised to put baby on the floor in a container and dad will look after it....

Could I leave it the nest at all??? or may the father not go in there??? as Its still very young.

ANd do I need to move the mother far away????
