YEY! Congratulations on your new baby!
I'm sure the parents will take care of their baby just fine! As long as they are keeping him warm and feeding him...I think just a little feeding at first and then gradually increases according to some of the other posts about newborns.
Look forward to seeing some pics when you get a chance!
Blessings to All!

Congratulations on the new baby! Just keep a very close eye on things to be sure the parent birds are keeping the baby warm by sitting on it and that the crop has food in it starting about 6-8 hours after hatching. Newly hatched babies won't eat or need to be fed right away as they will still be absorbing the yolk sac.

Please keep us posted.

That's very odd to have this second egg hatch an entire week after the first one. I'm sorry the newly hatched baby didn't make it.

Hello to everyone,
Momma, Daddy and Baby Boo is doing wonderful.During the past weeks I have been amazed how fast the baby grew. It is the same color as daddy, but I think that it is a female, because the back side moves just like moms. Dads doesn't do this.
How long should I leave the baby in with the father, ie breeding?
They have been weaning her. She sure gets noise when they refuse to feed her. The food bowls are down so she can feed also.
They are watching me as I write this and talking to each other. I'm glad I don't understand pigeon!!
Well all of you take care this new year.
Becky

Thanks for the good news update! I'm glad the baby is doing so well. I don't think you can really tell the sex of the baby just yet, but perhaps your observations are right on!

Once the baby is fully self feeding/drinking, it can be removed from the parents.
