Snickers today at 12 days old! I think he looks like he's got his "hands" on his hips telling me to hurry up already cause he wants to go back to the nest box.

Today i can see a little prickly patch just above his cere where a crest is getting ready to pop through, and some dark flecks are showing up on his wings so i think we'll be seeing some pin feathers in the next couple of days!

Snickers is looking good Bea, and his crop is nice and full, I can't wait for the pin feathers to come through won't be long now I can't believe he is 12 days old already.

Snickers looks like he is doing great He reminds me of a snowman

 

[Sarin]

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

 

[Bea]

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!

 

[birdieness]

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.

 

[Bea]

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?

 

[Bea]

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!

 

[Laura]

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

 

[Bonny]

Im glad everyone is geting better and gaining weight

 

[Rosie]

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

 

[Bea]

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!

 

[Sarin]

Aww how adorable!

 

[Bea]

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!

 

[Laura]

I knew they would open soon come on yellow

 

[xxxSpikexxx]

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
