I have two eggs that a Male and a female take turns sitting on, I have 6 Birds all together but the same two always sit on them. If they Hatch is there anything I need to do? Different food? Take them from the nest? Leave them? Does the mom feed them and bring them water?
 
Both the cock and hen incubate the eggs. Generally the male will set during the day, and the hen will set at night. Both parents will initially feed the squabs. If they start a second round before the squabs are fully fledged, the cock takes over all of the feeding duties. You have to do nothing, escept leave them alone - the parents are programmed to care for their young.
