The second round for my normal x cinnamon turks has only given one chick. Two hatched, but one died. This will be the last chick of a good season, although it's all been down to one pair.
Rosa x lutino bourkes: two rounds of dead in shell
Rubino x rosa bourkes: two rounds of dead in shell, 1 round 3 chicks
Normal x cinnamon turks: 1st round 4 chicks, 2nd round 1 chick.
Opaline turks: 1st round 6 chicks, 2nd round 8 chicks.

Only one bengalese chick
Only one of the albino bengalese chicks made it. The other three appeared to have some genetic weakness, legs spread and couldn't fly. I had to put two of them down. Maybe breeding red-eyed birds together was not such a good idea. I won't let them breed again. The other pair of bengalese just keep laying infertile eggs, so it may be worth splitting up the pairs anyway.
