baby died


my budgie bird played 5 eggs 3 of them hatched but one of the chicks is dead should I take the chick out ? or do I leave it in their with the rest of the chicks ?


Answer:

Hi,

I’m sorry about your chick – it’s one of the downsides of breeding that can happen. It is best to remove a dead chick. If you can watch for the parents to both be out of the box at the same time, this is the best time to remove it.

Take care,

Brenda
