I'm going to be glued to this thread. Please keep the pictures coming. Babies look like they're already kissing!

Unfortunately mother has killed one baby...the little one, and very cruelly, i don't want to give detailed info.My wife got very upset and cried whole night.
I really don't understand why she has done it, how a mother can kill her own baby.
Also i noticed she stopped feeding the other baby, now my wife is looking after the baby and feeding by hand.
She is doing her best to keep her alive.
i hope the other baby will survive. other eggs are not hatched yet.

It certainly is an amazing feeling when you get your first chicks. Congratulations baci Sorry, I missed the second page of posts and didn't see that you had a loss. I too had a loss but it means that the other will be a strong bird. |

Oh goodness! Sorry to hear that one of the first chicks died. Did the mother def seem to kill it deliberately? Strange, although I suppose it must happen. Forgive my ignorance - I don't know much about breeding. I hope the other teeny tiny chick will pull through.
Interesting to see the beak in the four-day-old chick. Recognisably a beak because of the shape, yet not quite like a "normal" beak.

Recognisably a beak because of the shape, yet not quite like a "normal" beak. He still has his "egg-tooth", to help himself out of the egg.  And have a look at photos of others' chicks; you will see that the cere is very pronounced. Not sure I have seen one come out with down, already, though ...... might be like some babies born with hair all over but it all falls out soon after. |
