Apologies for posting this picture but breeding birds is not always nice!
Judging by the eyelid colour these two birds are lutino's. So out of the 4 chicks, the 3 that have died have all been lutino. The surviving chick has black eyelids and is probably a normal.
I'm starting to think that lutino's are genetically weak. I'll have to see if this happens again if I get a second round.
I had loads of problems last year with sick adult lutino pairs, that I eventually gave up on them. Why did I not just stick with normals?
