My 1st eggs in ~12 years! :D

[WrenNAustinTX]

Lacybug OO, which one?

[MiaCarter]

WrenNAustinTX -- Aw, the little egg hat dude was trying to set a trend!
He was like the uber cool trend setter chick!

I actually think the egg hat thing is normal. There's another member here with a mid-hatch egg as the profile photo and he's got an egg hat too! But sounds like he was ready to go, so just saved him the trouble!

So sweet! I love me some babies!

They all look like they have that tannish fluff. So cute! I've seen different colors myself. Some more yellowish, others a pure white. And some are bald! (Which I prefer, as you can see them better when they're little.

My guys are super loud this morning! I peeked in and we've got open eyes on one little guy!

[WrenNAustinTX]

MiaCarter yeah, I thought the hat thing could be normal but, I had to run to work and what if he couldn't get the hat off...? I worry too much lol

Also I didn't know the babies had different fluff. Come to think of it, when I had chicks before, I don't remember them ever being so fluffy. I wonder what the difference is.

Congrats on your new babies!

[MiaCarter]

WrenNAustinTX -- Yeah, some are definitely fluffier than others!
Some species like Gouldians are totally bald.

But there's a big variation of fluff amount and color, even among babies in the same clutch!

I would have de-hatted him too.

Awesome! One more to go. Then mine start hatching. Then yours again right? Yeah baby ZEB take over!

[WrenNAustinTX]

MiaCarter I smell a science project on fluff color/type!

[WrenNAustinTX]

afinch you're on the 26th? Yeah! And then my black faces start hatching (or not :/) on the 30th!

[MiaCarter]

WrenNAustinTX --- ooh, that's a great idea!

Where's sir delray? We've got a science fair idea for you, kiddo! (Ha, just answered my own question! He's probably at school!...Unless he gets weds half days. Those were always the best!)

MiaCarter I smell a science project on fluff color/type!

*perks up*

Did someone say science?

[WrenNAustinTX]

afinch I knew you'd like that we need to document hatchling fluff colors vs adult colors and suss this out. Hurry, get your eggs to hatch, we need data!

Pics! 3 wanting treats, and one lazy guy asleep, full of food

[afinch]

Holy moly that's some serious feeding action lol. Awesome!

[WrenNAustinTX]
