This is probably a silly question, but. Have you changed the perches recently? They can get poopy so easily. But as it is only 2 birds this is probably not the problem. Just trying to cover all the angles. Good luck in getting them well.

what type of floor does the aviary have?

how often do you clean the aviary?

the only time I ever seen this is in cabinet bred birds, many breeders using the triple c for this problem, you can get it in most pet shops, pet barn has it

It's tetracycline too, so essentially the same as Vetafarm Triple C.

You seem to be doing all the right things, so good luck with the 2nd chick.

Good luck.

Every blue I bred died with this illness aven when close to full colour.

I hope yours make it. Have you considered mozzy bites?

That was one suggestion a mate if mine had. I am more of the belief its a blue issue as was mentioned earlier as my splits survive but blues die.

the blues that died, were they produced by 2 blue parents or split parents?
