After a egg has hatch do you remove the male parakeet if it is pecking the baby parakeet?
Yes you do if the male is being violent to the chicks. Especially if the female is being disturbed by the male or trying to defend the chicks. Get the female together though in the male's cage once and awhile so the couple will not forget about eachother, but do that a few days, (maybe 2 weeks) after the chicks have hatched. Depends on the age of the chicks. If they are out of the nest, pecking at them is natures way of weaning them to eat on their own. If they are very young, I would put male in a cage setup right next to the female, so he can continue to feed her through the bars. The female depends a lot on the male after the chicks are hatched.

How can you hatch only female chickens?
Science has not yet given us a method to determine which egg houses a pullet and which egg houses a cockerel. However, in some chicken types, there are ways to tell the difference between males and females early on in their lives. 1. Feather linked sex trait: in the first 24-72 hours of life, there is a definite difference in the growth of the primary feathers on the wing. The longer primaries will belong to the male chicks. Growth of these feathers is delayed in the female. 2. Color linked sex trait: In the Red Star chicken, the males will be white and females red as chicks. Also when crossing Rhode Island Red with a Barred Plymouth Rock, the male chicks will have a distinct white cap on an all-black body; whereas, the female chicks are all black.
