my cock mates with its son!! while there is a female budgie in cage too. it started a week ago when the chick had a crash with wall while flying and he can not walk properly since that time. chick is annoyed while its father tries to mate with him. and stays in nest to avoid its father. i separated them but i fear that in absence of cock, the chick would not grow properly . what should i do? after one week since the crash, only one of chicks legs are working properly and he is crawling on the floor and barely can control its walking . EDIT: I have edited your post as the language you have used is not acceptable for children to read.Marianne Marlow

How old is the chick?
If, after a week, the chick is still not able to walk properly, you need to get it to a vet. It is likely to be in a lot of pain.

there is not a good vet where i live. they are all sheep and cow vets is it normal that a cock mates with a 6 weeks old male chick?!

He is dominating the chick and knows that it is injured, you must remove the dad and let mum carry on with the feeding otherwise he could end up killing the already compromised chick.

You still haven't said how old the chicks are, im assuming if they can fly they could well be old enough for you to remove the nest box. The nest box could be the cause here if dad wants to go in for a second clutch he want's the older chick gone. If they are not old enough to remove box try removing mum preferably to different room where the male can't see or hear her and see if dad settles down and finishes feeding the chicks.

i told chick is 6 weeks old. he can fly. i removed nest box from cage today. chick sleeps while hanging from cage and fells down dad is making sexual intercourse with its son, is it right to put them together and separate the mother? i have putted dad in another room but he and chick are calling each other. it is a very sad situation

someone will advise on this, but just from what you say now, I would say you need to keep the dad away. is the chick able to feed himself?

Dad will just have to get over it; try sprinkling seed over the bottom of the cage paper for the chick to forage on. Soak some seed as well and offer this is a separate pot. Start adding fresh vegetables for the chick to learn to eat from, but if the bird can't walk I really don't have a lot of faith in the outcome. Any decent vet should be able to determine broken or dislocated bones.

That is good news, at least. Hoping for a full recovery.

hi again guys my chick budgie is doing well now. he can walk. and i have put them together, with his mother and father. most of the times i open their cage door and let them play outside. male tries to feed chick and sings for him nonstop and tries to go on chicks back but chick cries and runs away.
