Help...I'm purchasing a cock green and hen lutino. They have a baby 3 weeks old..The owner is keeping the baby...I'm collecting the pair and was wondering will they breed again with me the new owner.

Double and even triple clutching in a season is possible but it usually only happens if you pull the eggs shortly after they are laid and incubate them artificially or foster them with another set of parents.

In your case, another clutch from the birds you are getting is probably unlikely this season. The birds will be busy adjusting to a new environment and probably will not be terribly inclined to breed for a while anyway.

That said, there's very little in the way of dogmatic truth about these guys. Anything could happen...
