Take a look at the pics below. There is only one owl baby left from the clutch. The other eggs did not hatch. Does this look like a fawn to you all? Or have they just not darkened up yet? It looks lighter than other ones that I have had. I have another set of 4 owl babies in a nest that I am trying to compare it to, but they are a good bit younger so it's hard to tell.

Chase it looks like it due to the feathering and horn colored beak. Normals have a dark beak. Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations on the beautiful baby fawn!!

Fawn for sure. Congrats!

awww that is so cute! congratulation

Beautiful baby fawn The dead giveaway is the light coloured beak, the normals all have darker beaks. Congrats

Definitely a fawn Owl baby--congrats!! Yes, the giveaway is the color of the beak--light with fawns, dark with normals. On this baby, you can even see the fawn feathers coming in.

It was kind of a suprise. I was told when I got the male that it was split to fawn but was not sure until now. So it must be a fawn female. I have an unrelated split male that I will pair her with on down the road.

Happy New Year to you!!! What a great way to start the year off!

Any updates and photos?

She fledged today.

come on now, hand over some more pictures you know the drill. congrats on such a beautiful baby and to have her be the only one that hatched and a fawn is so lucky. she will be absolutely stunning as she feathers out speaking of which we need to see more photos

She was so lonely being by herself. After she fledged, she tried to find a place to sleep. She ended up joining another nest of four normal owls babies that are about the same age as her. I peaked in the nest because I could not find her and she is nestled right in the middle of them.

aww she is so sweet! Do you name your finches?
