I have three Kakariki chicks, removed from their parents due to aggressiveness. I am up to date on how to feed them and quantities, temperatures & such but I planned on rearing them in two days.
The breeding box was full of blood, and the youngest chick died 3 days after it hatched after the parents (probably) killed it. It was found buried on the bottom of the cage half eaten. I've been watching them like a hawk since but after i heard a weird noise I opened the box and the mother flew out and I saw blood all over the walls.
They have a full crop, does that mean I wait before feeding them?
Here is the site I have my info from:
kakariki | HAND REARING FEEDING CHART
I don't know when to feed the 23 day old chick and its siblings both of 27 days. They have been with out their parents for 2 hours now. I do have formula and equipment. Photos below of the chicks!
Thanks in advance!! I'll take ALL advice
