Hehe. I really think he is going to be a beautiful pied boy!

 

I'm thinking that my wish of a pied (maybe boy) has a chance of becoming true! His dark patches on his wings are, as i said, patches rather than solid across his wings, so fingers crossed!

I just weighed him, full crop, and he's 25g so there's another 4g gained since yesterday! I'm very happy with his growth!

 

Ohh thats great. Hopfully he can keep gaining weigh like this. Poor little guy. Such a cutie tho.

 

I felt sure I'd answered this post!! Anyway........he's looking good, he reminds me of a peanut in a shell. LOL!!! I think he's just going to grow bigger and stronger by the day.

 

I think it will be noisy when he opens his eyes, then he can complain about things that feel annoying and look bad!! :lol: He can hiss at me before i even touch him. I swear this baby is the biggest complainer in the world!!

 

It sounds like he's filling out. That's great, Bea.

How are Bailee and Cookie doing now that they have had the meds a couple of days?

 

They've actually been on meds for 6 days, with only 1 more day to go! Bailee's gained some weight since being on meds. Cookie has dropped weight, but she was about 20g heavier than her usual throughout the egg laying. :lol: I'll be giving them probiotics on their veggies for probably a week to boost the good bacteria in their bodies again. I expect to see them both completely healthy after that!

 

Another 4 g thats great Bea, he is coming along nicely now, I don't think you need to worry to much, he is doing awesome Sounds like Cookie and Bailee are getting better as well, Yay!! to the happy family

 

Im glad everyone is geting better and gaining weight

 

Glad to hear that the happy family are doing well. Can't wait until Snickers opens his little eyes!

 

Somebody wants to say hello!!! Well he does on one side anyway, lol, he's opened his right eye and it looks like his left will follow soon!

 

Aww how adorable!

 

You can see his little prickle patch on his head where his crest is going to pop through! I can't wait to see what colour the crest is, i'm hoping for yellow....meaning pied!

 

I knew they would open soon come on yellow

 

Glad to hear they are doing well Look at that tiny crest coming up Spike has some grey in his crest but it is mostly yellow. I hope you get that pied you wanted

 

Snickers is adorable! I hope he's pied, that would be neat!

 

Oh my goodness!! Snickers going to be such a handsome little birdy!!

 

I'm 90% sure he's pied now, i was inspecting his pin feathers closely (you can see them under the skin on his wings) and it goes dark, dark, dark, light, light, dark...these are where the flight feathers will be. If he was a normal then all these would come through dark!

 

Super dad Bailee has gone over board, i'm surprised Snickers hasn't burst at the seams with the amount of food that been stuffed in his crop. He seems to have a bruise from the stretching, poor bub! Bailee is banned from seeing his child until he's emptied a fair bit. So he's down here with me chewing everything he can get his beak on, while Cookie is keeping Snickers warm. I was holding Snickers for a little while to keep him from Bailee, and the over eager daddy came over and tried to stuff MORE down the poor babies throat!!

 

Sorry for laughing Bea, but I can just imagine Bailee "Come on son, eat up, you'll never get curly feathers!"

 

Haha that's pretty cute. It's a good thing you're keeping such a close eye on them.

 

Bailee's back with his family, standing guard at the nest box entrance. But i've threatened him with a restraining order if he tries to pop Snickers like that again.

 

Well you can't say that Bailee is a bad dad, just a little, well....over enthusiastic!

 

Poor Bailee!

Well, you do have to give him an "A" for effort.

 

awww. hi there Snickers!!..... peek a boo I see you.....LOL

I bet he´s 100% pied .... just can´t wait to see the pattern...... is he/she gonna be cute 10000% guaranteed
