How long before I can handle my baby finches after they have hatched? Will the mother still take care of them? Should I remove the unhatched eggs?

Leave well alone -------
until the babies are weaned , or you may spook the parents,
into neglecting them,
Leave the nest alone--- the unhatched eggs will do no harm
and if they are broken, the parents will remove them,
from the nest themselves
Here are a few sites with useful information on these lovely little birds ;

you can handle them as soon as they leave the nest
the mother should look after them
and the mother will eat the eggshells for calcium so you dont need to remove them

When they can fly from the nest.
The parents will remove the egg shells.

No, leave them alone or you will kill them!
Ask petco or petsmart for their advice...and please stop.....you are a huge giant to them....so let MOTHER NATURE alone!
