AW! I agree the youngest looks a little red...a feeding can't hurt right?

 

[Debbie05]

So the babies will be 14, 12 and 10 days old tomorrow. They are doing well and parents taking good care of them. I can't wait tell they start feathering and I can see there colours. Dads a pearl pied and moms a grey split to pied. I am going to leave them untill the oldest is 21 days old. Unless I see a problem.

 

[Debbie05]

So I guess I could get some pearl pied females. That be nice.

Are you planning on letting them have another clutch after you pull the babies out?

 

[Debbie05]

Well they had a first clutch of 1 baby that died at 2 weeks old. I think I'll just rest them for 6 months.

 

[Kristian]

2 clutches per year is a good idea. With time and practice you will have a healthy pair of breeder's.

Best wishes.

You will get some GORGEOUS girls from this pairing...boys with some pretty awesome splits!

aww they are adorable love baby 1's tiny crest coming in, so cute!

Well I had to pull the babies today. I was going to wait tell thursday after there last feeding but they all looked so dehydrated. The food in there crop was so hard. I gave them a little diluted formula. I hope they empty before the next feeding.

 

[lperry82]

aww poor little things

 

[Debbie05]

Well there last clutch had just the 1 baby that died at 2 weeks. I'd rather be safe and pull them now. The youngest 2 have some real signs of dehydration. Very red and still not opening there eyes well. I am sure they'll be fine. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[lperry82]

Fingers crossed

 

[roxy culver]

Yea its best to just pull them now and take care of them yourself. Some parents...sheesh! lol such cute babies.

 

[mitch2006]

how is baby doing any updates yet?

 

[Debbie05]

Well I fed them at 7 and at 11. They had a very small amount left in there crop. I am hoping when I get up in the morning they'll be empty crops. The 2 youngest look a little better, not so red. But I think there eyes are very bulged out. Is this a sign they are dehydrated? You can see in the last pic of the 13 day old. It's eyes where not even opened. I notice tonight after the second feeding that his eyes where finally opened. I guess that's a good sign.
