Hi its been 20 days since my lovebird eggs hatched.. i check on them daily.. today i noticed some injury on the youngest one.. so what should i do.. take him out and hand feed them ?? or just keep him inside with the parents.. he seems healthy.. bt that injury is what i am concerned abt..have uploaded pics.. waitin for the kind advices..

I'm honestly not sure what to do in this scenario. Do the parents have a history of being aggressive toward their chicks? Is the chick still being fed and taken care of? Does it seems like a wound from a beak or from a tumble? If you could upload images to this thread, that'd be mighty helpful for anyone with some advice to give.

I personally have no experience with breeding or with parental issues when it comes to raising chicks, so hopefully someone with more experience drops in and can ask you the right questions, get the right answers, and you can take the appropriate steps from there. Do try to monitor the birds though, just in case it is parental aggression.

If you know it was caused by one of the parents, then you need to figure out which one and remove that one from the cage. If it's both parents, then you'll need to hand feed.

I checked on him yesterday.. and he seems much better.. parents are taking care of him.. so i'l leave him with his parents
