1week old

Wow how they have grown :) in just 1week. They have gorgeous feathery feet.



And lovely wings and tiny little tail feathers starting to grow.
The paper under them needs changing all the time, at least 2-3 times a day, they poo a lot for little chicks, and I clean their feet and bottoms if needed every morning as they walk through the poop and it sticks to their feet... Nice :).
