Hello,
I could really use some help here. I have two conures pineapple (female), green cheek (male). They had a batch of eggs about 11 most didnāt make it or was still yellow. After the first two eggs I noticed my Rosie wouldnāt sit on the eggs and the male would move them. I bought an incubator and we had success with them. We ended up with more eggs and bought a brooder as we couldnāt keep them in the incubator as there was no space. It also rotates.
first one lasted almost 2 weeks and randomly passed away while we hand fed it. The second one we tried with Rosie and she broke its beak and it died. We continued to hand feed. The third one passed away. Randomly in the brooder box.
After a while now we have two eggs left. Two days ago one hatched after 12hrs we started feeding every two hours, 2-3 drops until its crop was a bit extended. It wasnāt really popping and came out the egg with a protruding belly button. Today the last egg was hatched and then the other bird died after feeding!
What are we doing soo wrong we need assistance as these are my babies and this is really sad!
Is it the temperature, feeding schedule, should I put this last one back in the incubator with the steam? The food not diluted enough? Is there something specific I need to do after feeding ?
