Hi - Some two months back I had two breeding pairs.
Both hatch two chicks each. both all four chicks of were not growing till they died after some 20 days.
They always had full crop. but they looked like 7 days chicks after 20 days.
what would have been the cause? they are again sitting on eggs.

It may be a rougue gene in the parents Tariq, the chicks are runts and never surive into adulthood

I remember from another thread Tariq that you mentioned about dying young chicks. It was suspected that you maybe having some bacteria issues in your flock. Did you find out that? (Here)

Not all runts die I've got one that's living happily. He's about 8 months old. also had one for a year and a half before she died
