Cutest Bird Ever!!!
Hi everyone, Happy new year,
So my lovebirds have a clutch born 20 dec(x2), 21 dec, 22 dec (24 dec but that one passed on the 27th).
Since 27 Dec I´ve been handfeeding the smallest chick in the clutch as it had an empty crop and always does when I check on them.
This morning none of the chicks had anything in their crops so I fed them all.
I´ve just checked on the chicks, the smallest had an empty crop, the 2 middle ones had something, but very little in their crops. The eldest has a crop that looks like it is going to explode.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to make sure hey all get fed?
Also, my smallest just doesn´t seem to be growing, or at least, he´s not growing like the others. He´s so much smaller than the others, I´m scared he´ll fall under the other 3 and be squished.
The hen is wild, she´s very agressive. The dad is tame, he´s fine with me touching eggs/babies etc he liked to come over and help me with the last clutch after I took them from the nest. He still hangs out with his last 2 chicks, who are now grown, the hen attacks them.
