yeh real bummer I debated not putting the dad in the cage with the mom and the egg and the hatched baby. I watched the 2 of them take turns with the eggs but when I went to put them in a cage early this morning it was like the dad could care less. This morning my wife found the baby had his head pecked almost clean off.
My mission this week is to get a breeding box set up going in my aviary so that should they lay fertile eggs again there will be no way that the baby can work its way out of the box.
Such a bummer, my kids were so excited about the sound of a new born peep.
