Recently my pied and lutino have had 5 babies successfully and I'm very happy.
How ever i have a problem where the female parent is already starting to want to mate again with the male and the babies aren't even 3 weeks old yet.
I don't want them to mate again and have more babies. My plan was to let them finish taking care of the chicks together and once the babies were fully weened, i would separate the parents to avoid further babies.
My question is it possible for only 1 parent to take care of the chicks? If yes which parent should i leave to finish taking care of the babies?
If no any advice? I'm aware it is 5 chicks and it can be a lot for one parent alone.
