I would get ahold of whoever you got those eggs from and let them know. Now if you breed the ones you have would those babies have a chance of being cross beaks?three were perfectly formed babies in hatching position with the most severe crossbeaks I ever saw. They couldnt pip. Cant even call it crossbeak. The top and bottom beak were more like side by side;
what on earth causes that? so sad.
Poor babies!
Glad you got 5 out of them!


The kids I watch have snotty noses again... WTH? Why do they have to bring their crud over here?

I don't think Nugget will make it much longer... or he will have to be culled. He was much worse today and wanted to eat but his head is under his wing now. I held him and massaged his neck upward to a better position to eat and drink... I can't do that every couple of hours everyday. I hope he got some vitamins in him today that will help. I made him eggs with some of my womens vit all crushed up because they were the only things I had with B1 vit in them...
If he is worse/ not improved tomorrow I think he will have to be culled. I don't want him to starve.
