I have 3 chicks that I pulled for handfeeding when they were 2 weeks old. They are doing awesome, in a cage, playing with food, perching, whistling...everything they should be doing. They are on an 8 hour schedule of feeding.
This morning, when I was feeding them, Dad flew over to the cage and went inside. He actually was feeding the chicks! I was surprised because Mom has shown no interest in them and until today, neither had Mist. He only fed one of them and very briefly but he was feeding the chick.
They are caged apart but should I make sure to keep Dad away or is there any harm in him still lending a wing? The chicks are 31 days and 28 days old now.
