Very sad news from this site. We lost the second little chick today.
I noticed last night that while being fed, the chick appeared to be in some respiratory distress. He/she was able to eat, but with some difficulty. Today, the chick was no longer moving.
As with the first chick, I think that the probable cause was either Trichomoniasis or a toxin of some kind. With both chicks, the situation worsened quickly. I have seen no comments from Melbourne on the loss of either chick. Do they have no concern for what has been happening at their own website?
The really sad thing is that both of these sweet little chicks could probably have been saved if they had received treatment in time.
I see that in the last little while the live stream has been replaced with the message "Camera is not available".
