Silly question,
But in painteds who incubates mum, dad or both????
I have a cock bird who spends more time in the nest then the hen and I am wondering if he is incubating or just hanging about....
I think the hen scored well with this rooster...
Painted incubation question???

Thanks for that crocnshas
Being a former budgie man and current canary dude I am used to the hen doing the hard yards.
I look forward to seeing some young this weekend then!

agreed with Craig, my male has done most of the sitting in the day, I can only assume the hen does it at night
