Question for gcc breeders

[brianlinkles]

I have a concern. I have a young pair of green cheeks ( male yellow side, female pineapple). I have them set up for future breeding. They are VERY bonded. Literally inseparable. I have noticed that lately the female looks like she is plucking feathers from the area that would be a " brood patch". They are very young and no where near breeding age. Has anyone ever experienced this? I don't know why she would pluck this young. They have a nice big cage, toys , good food. I'm rather concerned.

What nesting substrate do you have in the box?

And how old are they?

He's not breeding them yet so I don't think there's a nest box available right now. But yes I would like to know how old they are as well!
