Question
we have a 3 week old squab.but the other female[not the mum]we have 1 male and 2 females keeps entering the cote and attacking baby visciously at every chance.what can i do please.thanx.

Answer
Hello Chris and thank you for your post.
I am sorry that it took so long for me to answer you, but I had computer problems that are hopefully resolved now.
The only thing that can be done in this situation is to seperate the baby from the other birds.  It is possible that the baby is sick.  When a bird is sick, the other birds will kill it to keep their flock disease free.

Good luck and God Bless.
