I hope you are giving them their own album on your computer for future reference, clt80. You will be wanting to go back and watch them grow all over again, I am sure.

Indeed! They are growing so quick. Baby 1 thinks it's more interesting to see what's going on outside these days. Please excuse the droppings it was this morning before I fed, watered and cleaned them!

This is very dark as I'd just got home but baby 1 was outside the nest box chirping about...

Are Shirleys wings always like this? She has a touch of the "Monty-wing" This was Monty, my tiny king: Not that I've noticed no, they look lower in the picture. I've just looked at her now and they are higher, sat flush on her. Lovely photo, captured the moment with his little foot up! I'm surprised she isn't worn out, she has worked incredibly hard the past few weeks, as has john. But the lion share has been done by Shirley. I find it peculiar that babies 1 & 4 are going to be very similar if not identical when grown. Also, that babies 2&3 are so similar; the only difference is one has yellow where the other has white. Goodness they are cute. I read about them leaving the nest box, after around week 5 which for baby 1 is this Friday, which may be why she is jumped out today. I'm not sure when to stop putting her back in the nest box, am I best leaving her out from the end of this week if she continues climbing out. I made a little shelter for her from an old tissue box but am having second thoughts that the cardboard maybe no good as it's white so may have toxins in for them if they nibble it. Also, if they ween from week 7 onwards should I just leave food on the floor in shallow tubs so she can start trying to ween when she is ready?

If bub number 1 is nearly five weeks old, this will explain why it is wanting to come out. Put the hide on the floor, and sprinkle some seed around, plus a piece of millet. Let this baby start feeding for itself. This is where John should start earning his keep, and teach/help the little one along. Some veggie and egg mash may not go astray either ..... get them eating their veggies as soon a possible.

I've just read through this thread from beginning to end and my heart is melting! It's so exciting to watch them grow and develop. That said, I hope when I get Alf and Charley together there are no eggs produced because I just wouldn't know where to begin myself.
