Ginene

The first pair had two babies. One they never fed, the other they fed for probably five days. I found both babies dead on the floor. The second pair had 5 fertile eggs. I found two dead babies on the floor, so I checked the nest. One live baby, two eggs (one early DIS, one late DIS). I am handfeeding the baby, but it is not doing well. Sigh. Next clutches are going to the Societies, I've had enough of this.
3 Purple Grenadiers, 1 Goldbreast + 1 cat.

Oh No Sally...I am so sorry to hear that :cry: . What a shame...I will pray for your little hand-fed baby. I don't blame you for being DONE!!! I have ZERO plans of ever breeding CB's...so whether Bert ever gets a hen or not, he will NEVER be a daddy. Sending you big HUGS :YMHUG:
