Re: why are my canary chicks dying?
Posted by jay on 5/03/08

they are all from different parents, it seems they are getting
to 14 days old and then dying. it upsets me so much as i just
wish i knew what it is or what could prevent it. i looked up
coccidiosis and 3 sites said it occurs in birds over 8 weeks.
they were all feeding very well (they are in breeding cages in
a bird room) and are checked 5 times a day with fresh water
and seed twice a day and given cede egg food twice a day
sometimes 3, and i would go in the bird room 6 am every
morning and sometimes they could die within a couple of hours
of me last being in the bird room, could it be anything to do
with food? or is there a disease that could be causing it? the
parents are all in very good condition. im also worried as i
have to pairs of gouldian finches on eggs in the same birdroom
and its my 1st time breeding finches and i wouldnt want
anything to happen to them. thanks so much for any advice as
im going out of my mind!
