THERE ARE SOME BREEDERS THAT AUTOMATICALLY PLACE THEM IN YOUNG BIRDS WHEN BROODING AS A PREVENTATIVE... PERSONALLY I DONT, BUT EACH HAS THEIR OWN WAYS OF DOING THINGS
I also wait ,if no problem ,no reason to place them in.
Yes don't be in a hurry to remove them, other than the looks little harm with them. Myself i only put them in birds thats are bad about pecking other birds. Bit or bald or dead birds ????? Bird starts that pecking crap....in goes a bit.
