I think one of the babies hatched today. My husband and I both swear we heard it peeping this morning. I even found half of the hatched egg outside of the nest later in the day...so I know something is going on in the nest.
My question is....are the babies normally noisy or quiet? I haven't heard any peeping since this morning
Thanks

I haven't had Society babies in ages, so I'm not sure any more how long it takes for them to get noisy. Most finch babies aren't too noisy for the first few days. Often, if there is just one or maybe two babies, the parents will keep them so stuffed that they have no need to beg, so they will be more quiet.

Congratulations!
Sounds like you might have just hopped on the baby train .

Just heard some peeping coming from the nest this morning I really wish I could see it but there's always at least one of the four finches I the nest.

Congrats! As the babies get bigger, the adults will spend less time in the nest, and you will probably be able to get a peek in the nest. Societies are one species that will tolerate nest checks very well, they don't seem to mind us looking at their babies.

Congratulations and they get very loud as they get older even my 4 babies have been out of the nest and eating on there own, there 3 weeks old today and they scream to still be feed. There lots of fun to watch you'll enjoy

The bigger they get, the louder they yell.
