Chris, I think you're doing a good job but I've never had babies and am not sure what other food sources would be good for the parents right now. I would imagine that anything high in calcium is good and you are already offering that. If Jackie doesn't see this and reply, send her a PM. (Butterfly) She's just been though this and will be happy to share any advice that might help.

I can't wait to see photos of your babies! :)

Other good foods for parents that have babies are homemade cornbread, sprouted seed, fresh shredded carrots, cooked/steamed corn, collard greens and figs. If there is any food that my parent birds don't particularly care for, I add it to the cornbread! :lol

Keep a careful eye on the little one. The smallest babies always seem to find themselves under a pile of the older babies and some have been found dead from suffocation.

Rica is just being a good mother!
Hopefully, the tiny one will be OK.
