Chick died

Post by Chilli50 »

Hi. I have a breeding pair of ringnecks in a huge cage in my living room. Earlier this year they laid 3 fertile eggs, which all died in the shell. She laid another clutch and hatched one chick. It was 5 weeks old today. All seemed to be going really well but I've just checked and found it dead. Mum is very aggressive so I've just looked through the observation flap once a day so I didn't want to disturb her. Parents were feeding the chick and all seemed well. The crop is empty on the chick this morning and it's cold and lifeless. Would anyone have any idea why this could have happened? Thanks
