A 4th baby joins the 3 already hatch from the clutch of 5 splendid grasskeets, and 1 baby from the clutch of 4 has finally hatched. Everyone seems well fed so far which hopefully will continue.
Unfortunately, my female yellow turquoisine appears to be sick. At first I thought she may be egg bound, but perhaps not. No watery stool to suggest diarrhea, so I have been giving her Amoxicillin for possible respiratory infection since she was making some rattling noises. Her energy level seems a bit better but is eating absolutely nothing, so I am crop feeding meds, fluids, and starting tonight some very runny baby formula. Hopefully I'll be able to get an appointment with an avian vet tomorrow :(
