It's only their second laying, so I guess without knowing past genetics they could be weak parents, who knows...or...they might have even suffocated the poor little guy...?? they're on a learning curve, I guess....
sorry :'(
That really sucks, Jon. :-\
There's more to come though....

The thought of suffocation was the first thing that crossed my mind. ???
Sorry to hear that.
On the plus side ;D..here's Junior with his dirty breast from dribbling his mushy supplement food....LOL...the slob ;D
HOw does a bird clean up afterwards?? I have always wondered.
Barb
He can clean himself pretty well now. The head swivels nicely but not quite like an owl...LOL...hence we wipe him down with a damp/wet paper towel when he drools... ;D
