With the weather picking up and not being all dramatic now... I'd like to start hatching some eggs.
I've got 1 male to 4 females. I'm not against sectioning him off with only 2 females, just felt keeping them all i n one cage would be fine.
I see ruffled feathers here and there but I'm not they're ruffled because he is doing his job. I inspect them about 2-3 times a day and all he ever does is sit there in a cool corner and peck the ground.
I've caught him moving the eggs in a corner and leaning/sitting on them too. Now I check if he is male, and he is MALE.... so I don't get this behavior. Does it mean he did his job and he's protecting the eggs? I mean he doesn't fight me when i grab for them but he does growl.
Do just place the eggs in the incubator and hope they're fertile? candle them in a week?
