Knew you would be, jellybean 3rd and final chick hatched this morning and all are doing great The youngest even had a feed this morning(and has been nicknamed Wallaby). Jellybean has now started to lift his head and has discovered that he has wings, which he currently uses for balance. Mini-Mel and Wallaby just pile up Jellybean- 6 days old Mini-Mel- 2 days old Wallaby- hours old Photos will be coming soon, hopefully tonight if I can

Three chicks is a good number, I think, Nicola. Especially for Cleo, as a first-timer.

Mum, Cleo, is doing such a great job. Makes all the difference. Three little pinkies; stay strong, little guys.

The chicks are going great, and growing by the day! Jellybean has now started to get the first of his down and tiny pin feathers have started on his wings (just little spikes). They are currently looking slightly yellow, however that could just be the light. Mini-Mel seems to have an orange coloured beak at the moment, which makes me think maybe shes a Romeo recessive junior? Either way they are all looking fabulous Her eyes are also starting to open Jellybean- 8 days Mini-Mel- 4 days Wallaby- 2 days Please excuse the not-so-clean nest box, its nearly clean up time
