Hello, I need some help.
I have a female society finch who laid some eggs about two weeks ago. I have her in a cage with three male societies, and one male Gouldian (they all get along well and I have seen no fighting, but should I separate them?). She laid a clutch of 5 eggs, 4 of which are fertile. I know the recommended flock size for their cage is five birds, and, assuming all four chicks are healthy and survive, it will be much too crowded. (I’m also a bit worried about her nutrition, along with my other finches. I’ve been trying to get them to eat fresh fruits and veggies, but no luck so far. Are there certain fresh foods that I should/shouldn’t be encouraging? Especially after my female laid a clutch?)
I’ve been researching how to discourage her egg laying in the future, but I don’t know what to do now about the four fertile eggs.
With things being this far along, I’m guessing it’s a matter of raising them (letting the parents raise them?) and then finding a home for them, right?
Any advice or tips would be fantastic.
Thanks.
