Hi Fury,
Regarding the feathers. Sometimes the birds pluck each other to line and warm the nests, especially in cold weather. It is worth putting some feathers in the aviary to stop this happening. I hang mine in an onion bag. May have been mites but possibly my suggestion.
Great you checked the other eggs first as I have had males sit and then rear young when the hen has died early in the incubation stage.
Full crops seems great for the future of your chicks. Hang in there. We all go through traumas at times. That is what mixing with the natural world brings but there are a lot of joy and highs as well.

Hi, thanks for all the welcomes!
I will try to collect feathers next time and hang them like you said. I just checked on the chicks and they are all doing well, there is 4 of them :)
Woo hoo i got babies! :D

Or if you do not have access to poultry feathers, try white tissues torn into strips. Many birds love them too.
