A day of sadness :( ....

Sadly to say my beautiful little baby that hatched on saturday died today :( .. mum and dad were too busy with the other 2 egg's to keep him warm and feed him .. only today i made the decision to pull him and the other baby that hatched yesterday out of the nest box and try desperately to save them ..

I got a hot water bottle and some paper towel and some baby farex - when that didn't work i rushed to the feed barn and got some hand rearing mix - sadly after dropping peter off at work i came home to find the 1st baby to hatch on saturday had died ..

the other little baby who hatched yesterday i've now put back with his mum and dad - there is nothing i can do :( .. i tried .. all i can hope is that they keep him warm and feed him .. i've been standing in the bird avairy for the past 2 hours watching them - and so far since i fed him at 10am this morning she's tried to feed him once .. there is nothing in his crop either .. I felt him before and he's freezing cold yet again ..

Unfortunately I don't think there is much hope for this baby either .. the other 2 egg's well i don't think there is anything in them or if there is they won't hatch as they are pretty black looking .. i'll wait another week before i take them out all together ....
