Sadly we’ve been having the same issue 😞 we’ve lost several now and after troubleshooting, I’ve found it’s heart failure. And this is the first I’ve had an issue with this

I'm so sorry. It's so hard when they're almost grown out & then you lose them. My friend had to put 3 down early last week. I have found an organic feed does help w/the heart failure. My birds seem to have less of it than my friend & we get our chicks together. I do think however, it could be a problem with the parent stock since lots of people have been having the same problem. It's incredibly frustrating & sad for the bird. ❤ Crystal
