Your English is fine, and by tge way, welcome to the Forum.

Your female will be fine incubating her eggs by herself, and raising the babies by on her own.

Istiak Welcome to the forum! I agree with lovezebs, the female can do just fine by herself. You might want to think about getting a different male if this one always attacks your hen.

Thanks.
How to put the cages?
side by side so that they can see each other or in
different places?

hi and welcome to the forum, yeah put the cages side by side like this the hen will not feel herself alone and unsafe . do not distrub her by inspecting the nest or moving the cage . isolate the male for 48/72hours and put him back but keep on eye if he still chasing the hen that remove him till eggs hatch

Personally, I would take the male in his cage and place him as far away from her as possible, where she can't see or hear him. Hopefully she will go back to her eggs.

Good luck.
