Sadly one of the dark eyed chicks
passed when it was a very young. Sometimes chicks pass when they have
used all their energy getting out of the egg. On the up side the
chicks are now five weeks old. The three girls are getting out of the
nest frequently now. The lutino female is the only one that still
needs help getting back into the nest. The male has stayed in the
nest most of the time to stay away from the noise of his sisters.
They are doing great and will be ready to go home in about three
weeks. Here is a list of the chicks lay date, hatch date mutation and
gender.
4/11/13- 4/28/13 albino female
4/13/13 - 4/30/13 normal grey green
male
4/15/13 - 5/3/13 cinnamon single factor
violet female
4/16/13 - 5/4/13 lutino female
