My pair have hatched a chick, and I'm wondering what's the normal behavior of ruddies as parents? Do they both feed the chick, or take turns, do they continue to sit tight in the nest once chicks have hatched? Any suggestions would be great

All my birds share the feeding responsibilities and generally hen sits the most and overnight with the cock taking over in the morning to allow the hen to feed etc. I do have a couple of pairs of gouldians where the cock bird will squeeze in the nest overnight too.
