FINCHforum

This is probably a stupid question but do gouldian finches get their feathers later than zebra finches? I have my first gouldian chicks and parents are doing good job of feeding them and they are getting bigger. They are about 8 days old I think. They don't appear to have any feathers yet. I have a set of zebra chicks of about the same age and they all have some feathers. I am guessing their are just differences between the two species but thought I would ask....can't imagine its possible to have a set of bald gouldians
thanks,

These are pictures of my hand feds at 10 days and then 14 days:






They change a lot, quickly! Best of luck with yours!

thanks for the photos...mine look like your 10 day olds....like a baked turkey!
