Help ! Help ! Help !
There is an issue.. chicks are doing fine, but the guy has started plucking feathers of female. Shall I move the guy or keep him for some more time?

The male of the pair is plucking his mate? He may want feathers and more nesting materials. They probably are ready to go back to the nest again and start another clutch. If the babies are not weaned, I'd remove the nest, unless there are more still in the nest. Otherwise, offer some nesting material, but not too much and watch them.

Hi

Hope everyone had a nice Holidays.

I got busy at work, so couldn't really post updated. 2 chicks finally survived and came out yesterday. But when I wen to see them in morning, the male has almost shaved their feathers off:((. I moved him out and now wondering whether chicks will survive without feathers. They are bald and not pretty for pictures. Also I couldn't get them settle down for a pic. I will give a try tomorrow.

takecare.

Just an update : 2 chicks survived. Both are female CFW. I am yet to able to get a proper pic of them to post. I have separated male, so as to give female a rest. Also its very cold at nite and very warm during day time.
