It is okay to have females and males in the same cage. I have 3 males and 6 females in the same cage (and one week old chick, yay! ) and they get along fine. And also, your females do not seem to be fighting eachother over the male, so there is no need to separate. Now, the female throwing out the eggs probably does not want them. I has this happen to me. You can just let the other mom raise them. She will be perfectly able to do it. I've had sucessful clutches raised by surrogate mothers.
Now, if you want to hand-raise your birds, then I suggest going to:

Go under the cockatiel breeding section. Everything you need to know can be found there.
And Good Luck!!!!!!

If you suspect that one of the two females has chosen to become a mating pair with the male, you should separate from the mating pair the third female cockatiel. Hand raising baby birds is extremely difficult and best done by the parent bird.

GET ONE OF THE FEMALES OUT OF THERE NOW! Never house 2 females in one cage with a single male and expect the females to get along. You need to take one female out of there, but wait until you see which female the male is in love with. You will never have babies if you keep both females together with one male. TAKE ONE OUT!

confident, they could discover ways to talk. it incredibly is no longer uncomplicated. My chicken began, and then merely close down. Take and checklist words on a recorder. Then play the recordings huge-unfold. it incredibly is easiest first of all 2 syllable words like: infant, Daddy,hi,funds etc. it could take an prolonged time. It takes dedication.

First of all you should remove the other bird. she wants the nest box for her egg, so remove her and put her in another cage and breed her later in the origanal cage and take the other bird out!
