sounds bad.. get them tested asap.. but don't just let them get worst,, some natural things,, cider vinegar in water,, yogart on food ...

they need treatment .. be careful what fanciers post ,, defra are clamping down on fanciers using un prescribed drugs.. do as we do go to a vet and get all the products needed for the illness from them..

the best of luck

As other members have said and get them tested as soon as possible by an avian vet, or get one that is still alive to your nearest Defra for post mortem, no use in members just guessing when it is that serious
