I have 6 baby kakariki's nearly 7 wks old. 3 are doing well but 3 of them have not got there tail feathers this is how they came out of the nest box is normal and will they grow back
Do u have 2 nesting boxes?
Has the hen gone to the 2nd box shortly after the adult pin feathers start 'burst open'.
If not she may have nipped the tail feather roots, and maybe the longest end feathers of wings..... _________________ My Spelling is Not Incorrect...It's 'Creative'
