I'm new to the community and live in Georgia. We have a male gray named Danny and a female Lutino named Carrie (they're named after Stephen King characters). They just laid a clutch of 3 and we're hoping they will be fertile, unlike their first clutch last year. Any new parent advise would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum! I would start off by saying let the parents do the feeding for the first three weeks after hatching. After that is a good time to take over hand-feeding the babies with a syringe. Are you familiar with the powder baby formula you can order on-line? After you separate the babies at three weeks, keep them in a separate box from the parents. This is also a good time to handle them often and get them use to human hands. You want to start trying to ween them off baby food by 5 weeks....6 for sure.

Thank for the tips! Yes, I have the formula ready to go when the time comes.
