I envy your success, I still have alot to learn but have managed some small success so far this year.
The best is two on the perch from the same batch.

Frustrated, There has been more than 20 born over the season that have been lost within the first 10 days of hatching, one pair hatched 2 which went to the perch ,then I lost one of them. They get everything in their diet. 2 young just hatched yesterday, 1 egg is left in the nest, the hen is still sitting, both chicks are dead. It seems like the cocks aren't feeding the hens on the nest, so the hen can`t feed the newly hatchlings but she keeps sitting so the young die of hunger. This could be caused by colony breeding as the cocks are always chasing each other, so next season will be one pair to an aviary.
