Chick update

Posted by Bridget Wheeler on Friday, April 30, 2010,

# 1 opaline yellow face type two violet grey

# 2 opaline double factor violet

# 3 opaline violet grey

# 4 opaline yellow face type two violet gray

They are beautiful!

Grace and Apollo's eldest chick decided to go for an adventure outside the nest box. I found him on the bottom of the cage today. He was crying and I placed him back in the nest box.

All of the chicks are growing so fast. It's almost time to start hand feeding them. Diego and La fiesta have been getting in and out of the nest this week.

Apollo and Grace have three chicks. Sadly one of their chicks died soon after hatching. Dusty and Stella have four chicks that are doing great. Storm and Willow have three fertile eggs that should be hatching next week. The other pairs seem to be taking a break this breeding season.
