Some more photos for you to enjoy Since 3 days ago when I posted the last update, they've changed so much! Jellybean's eyes have opened completely and down now covers most of him. What I originally thought was yellow on his wings now appears to be white, with large black markings. He even has little pins starting a tail Mini-Mel has started getting the first pricks of down and opens her eyes slightly. Wallaby has grown massively, however is still a pink little munchkin Romeo and Cleo are doing an absolutely amazing job as first timers! Jellybean- 11 days Mini-Mel- 7 days Wallaby 5 days Jellybean is obviously the biggest, Mini-Mel is the head in the middle and Wallaby is the one buried underneath the others

As Hezz said, they are growing and thriving everyday:) They all have their eyes open now, however Wallaby still sleeps most of the time. They are all starting to get their down too, and you can see very faint colouring coming in on Mini-Mel's wings. Jellybean looks to have pied wings at the moment- black with white blocks- however his wings originally looked yellow to me so you never know what might come yet Jellybean- 2 weeks Mini-Mel- 10 days Wallaby- 8 days Still haven't mastered to art of a good photo yet unfortunately

Nothing wrong with that photo, Nicola. Who cares if the unimportant part is not in focus? The bubs are and that is all that matters. I can't wait for colours either.

I am not convinced yet that little Wallaby even has a head! I am not sure we have seen it yet; have we??? Great to see them, as always.

The 3rd and final chick, Wallaby, is going to cross the 2 week mark tomorrow, so I thought I better get another picture for you Its looking like Jellybean will be a light blue like Cleo, and Mini-Mel potentially a blue also but possibly a darker shade. Jellybean also appears to have spangle-looking wings- possibly a Cleo junior! But they change so often, these are pure guesses Jellybean- 2 weeks 5 days Mini-Mel- 2 weeks 1 day Wallaby- 13 days Left to right- oldest to youngest
