Possible but not advisable. Happened to me when I had a trio in a cage together while I searched for another male. Both hens went to nest and the male picked one to help. Meanwhile the lone hen had to raise the clutch herself. Not a good thing to do on a regular basis.

I definitely agree with Debbie. Additionally, when they are in breeding mode it is possible that two will pair up and be quite aggressive towards the third bird. Anything from feather plucking to death could be the result. Wishing you luck!
