If everything goes alright you could get up to 14 pinkies or more, it depends how many eggs internally the female drops.

I don't take the males out of the bins. They stay in there as part of the family.

well im not afraid of him hurting the girls or the babies. i know i can keep him in there. but i was told that if i do he will keep breeding with the females too much and it can be unhealthy to them.

You are right . In my case I harvest the offspring, maybe that's not what you want to do.

LOL, Make suure you seperate them for when the babies are born...You dont wanna come home one day and not know if the female had the babies and the male ate them or she didnt have them yet...You will probably know by the size of her but in my case...The male ate the babies twice since ive been breeding mice....almost al my life...

don't remove the male, it only makes it harder to reintroduce him to the group, especially if there are babies present (which he will kill).
You are reading pet care sheets on mice, don't. Take the advice from people that raise them for food. Keep the male in there, after the size of the litter tapers off, keep one of her females, and knock out the old mouse and feed her off.

I second sapphire moon's words, removing the male will only end up with problems. Mice are highly sensitive and can take a while to settle in, they generally do not respond well to being juggled around, causing them to cannibalize their litters, or fail to breed period.
