The second egg of my tiels clutch just hatched yesterday . I also had to take one of chicks out because it had died yesterday . I went to the nesting box to check on the chicks and realized one of the two chicks was on the side of the box against the wall . I also found the dead one against the wall before I removed it . I picked the chick up ( with a glove ) and put it in front of the parents so they could see it . I checked the nesting box again and the chick was against the wall again! The parents are sitting on the last egg and the other chick , but not this one . There doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with it .

Have they had chicks before? Are they feeding this chick at all? If not, you may have to pull and hand feed. The outlook is bleak for a cold and hungry chick. Do you have a brooder and everything you need for hand feeding just in case?
