I put one female society to the other cage, so the other societies can do their things. I guess they're hatching eggs.

I noticed that my cherry finches were mating again in the morning and now for some reasons female bird is angry at society finch. She's chasing her sometimes. Is it possible they wanna breed again and want to be just them two together? And if it is so, what should I do? Put nest to their cage and take society away? I apparently have only two cages and societies are hatching their eggs, so I don't know is it a good idea to put the another female to societies cage back. This cage is quite small.

Sounds like the society may be disturbing the cherry finch and their breeding. I would remove the society so the cherry have a better chance of success.

Well, my cherry finches desided to lay again, but I took their eggs (2) and I put them to the societies nest. I don't was it a good ide or not, but...There's bout 4-5 days to hatch their own eggs and then they have to hatch 10 more days to get cherries. I haven't read about this yet, but I'm gonna do this right away...

There's still only one baby bird. That baby looks so much bigger now (4 days old). I saw two little holes on one egg, so I guess there's coming next baby. At least I hope so. :)

Well. My birds still have only one baby bird. It's 12 days old now and it finally opened it's eyes today. This is so cute. It is crowing so fast and it's making pretty loud voice. Here's one picture.
