I have had a total of 4 chicks (2 in the early spring and 2 in June). I bought them locally but I think they were ordered from a hatchery. I love these birds, they are beautiful but I am having a hard time keeping them alive. I have not lost any of my other birds (about 23 in total), but I lost the first two at a week old and the third one at 6 weeks old. I now have one left who is now about 7 weeks old. Does anyone know if these are just birds that are not hearty or do they need some kind of special care. I have them separated from the older birds along with 2 of my other little ones. The temperature is very well moderated. I have been feeding them chick starter, making sure water is fresh and don't know why this is happening. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
