Hi. I haven't bred my birds yet, so please take my thoughts with a grain of salt. If your hatchlings have contact with other birds it MAY be something called Newcastle disease, or a respiratory illness called ILT. If these can be ruled out the bird may have a congenital problem? Again, please take my comments lightly. Cheers.

Do you think he could have been over heated?
