We have had some really hot weather and my kak hen couldnt handle it and forgot to feed her babies. Luckily we saved one out of the three who is only 6 days old and is now cuddled up with a baby cockatiel and is feeding really well. Looks like it should be a cinnamon pied too.

The little one unfortuanatly was just too young and was having trouble digesting due to mum not feeding it for so many hours.

Oh Bad luck, Thats Nature for you though I suppose
we have had a few problems this year with Mums leaving the nest too.
Not because of the heat but something has upset them. Luckily some have gone back down after removal of their eggs so hopefully we get a few more babies

Bubbles it may be useful to consider splitting the pair and repairing them with a different mate. This sometimes helps stop them as they may not be that compatible together.

Sorry to hear that bubbles - makes it harder when you can't understand why they do what they do sometimes. Hopefully you have more joy next time!
