Re: Thoughts and Advice

Is the bottom of the nest smooth? I had a similar problem with rosellas when the bottom of the nest was smooth.2 chickens are dislocated hips.It was not the same as yours but similar.I heard that in such cases, immobilizing legs is good so that they can normally heal.Try to drill two holes in a piec...

Re: Dead chicks

I meant pine shavings instead of sawdust.Poor choice of words. :)
I put 5-6 cm wood shavings but they scatter that and lay eggs on the bottom.

I can't put pictures. :|

Do your birds lay eggs in the sawdust or on the floor or the nest box? My birds scatter sawdust and I...

Re: Dead chicks

I have sent samples for testing.
Thanks for your help.
I found in one article that sometimes the chicks turned upside down in the egg and then they need help to come out of the shell.

Re: Dead chicks

I have not tested for the disease but doubt that they have.Chicks in eggs develop but fail to come out of them. That is known to happen with the second pair of IRN and the rosella. I do not know what happened to the two chicks because they look healthy. Maybe they froze or were weak.
