You need to separate them before this turns violent. This will likely end with one of the birds being killed, especially if you have two nesty females competing for places to lay eggs in a small cage.

I have baby in separate cage now with her one egg she laid. Should i boil egg like they say and return to her or just take it out?
Should i get her another bird for her?
She can still see mom and dad should i let them have flight time together supervised? Thanks for your reply.

No more eggs i took them away from both birds.Hated to do that but moms eggs were not fertile and the baby only had one andost interest. She does not want to go in her new cage to sleep. She is out with the other 2 most of the day. Spends time still with them in their cage. No more fighting. What should i do. How do i keep these 3?

Baby wouldnt go back in cage at night so she is back with mom and dad all is well again. Eggs will be taken away aling with nesting box.
