| Question about Pets:My lovebird layed 5 eggs, 2 hatched last friday and one hatched last night? |
Oh brother, here we go again!!! The older babies are not a threat to the younger babies, It just so happens that the smaller one is tiny and mom and dad lays on the babies to keep them warm. The little one(being so tiny) just happened to get laid out, so to speak. If this is their first clutch, they don't know how to take care of them all.
It could also be, that you are interfereing way to much in the box. The parents will kill young chicks if they feel their babies are threatened in any way. You need to feed, water and leave them alone.
If in deed you know how to pull and hand feed, then do so and leave the parents alone to fend for the rest of the chicks that hatch out. But keep your nose out of the box.
If you had 5 eggs, and only two babies hatched, that means 3rd egg hatched and you were in the box wayyyyy to much and the parents felt threatened and sitting way to tight to keep them from harm. Because you also said there are two more to hatch out. This is way to much information for you to know right in the middle of them hatching.
