Tossed out finch chicks are the worst. My gouldians were terrible parents.

Just as good if not better!!
What breed are they?
Well I see this ad in craigslist for "Pink Egg Layers", I could not get in my car fast enough to buy some of his chicks. I left with 4 fluffy butts with the hope that I might see a pink egg in the nesting box in the near future!

No unfortunately they didn't make it. One died right away (the yellow one), the second lived for nine days. I thought I was over the hump and it was going to make it and it had passed away when I went for it's next feed. The picture was from about a year ago.
Have you been able to figure out who is tossing? It's usually the male, but I had one hen that did it (caught her in the act). I usually have good luck with removing the tosser and letting the other parent raise them alone, but you have to move the tosser to where the matre cannot see or hear it. They do just fine raising the chicks alone. I also keep some societies around for just such emergencies.

They lose feathers to molting, over preening from mites, feather lice and feather picking. Feather picking can be a sign of not enough proteinIs there any reason my ee roo would be losing feathers?
