Dear Experts,
My gouldian pair has 2 clutches in last 2 months.
First they produce 5 eggs but didn't sit on them.Second time the hen layed 5 eggs and hatched but didn't feed the chicks.I see them again in breeding mood.They look fit .Shall i allow them or will it be too much stress on them?
Thanks

Re: Breeding cycle break
Personally I would let them breed again especially when they didn't even try the first clutch.
Good luck! Sounds like they are getting the hang of things

Re: Breeding cycle break
I limit my hens to 3 clutches.
So you have 1 more clutch to let them try again.
