Awful isnt it? It is 41 here already. Yesterday I went to my onsite caravan, an hour away and took the air conditioner out and brought it home. All my birds are now in my didning room with it on in cages chattering away but nice and cool now, I dont have any eggs so no cahnce of eggs drying out. The others I rescued are in a hallway with an evaporative cooler!

Two days ago I had to remove mum from "her" cage as she was being very nasty to her chicks. The babies have been picking at food, luckily because I have only seen dad feed one of them just once. Just now dad tried to mount his daughter so he has now been removed also. I hope the chicks are o.k. I have been giving them fresh foods and seed and a shallow bowl of water that they cannot drown in. Now I will hope for the best!

A long awaited photo update , I have given up on getting my good camera that is being repaired back in time. So these will have to do! Time to guess the sexes!

Chick 3, hasnt perched yet and is missing parents, still picking at food and water though. Dad mounted her and had to be taken out and mum started to attack Chick 1 so had to be removed also.

Chick 3 again, nicely feathered too! A bit messy from my attempt at giving her handraising mix from a spoon!

Yay! I have been waiting to see these and they are so beautiful!!!

 

My guess... is that the TCB is a boy and so is chick 3.

Not sure about chick 2.... it's purplish but I might still think it's a hen.

They are looking awesome. I hope the third little chick adapts and starts eating well on its own soon.

 

The TCB is a cock for sure.

The first albino looks like a hen and the third chick might be a cock too... not sure on that one.

 

I love the TCB - The markings are so vivid :blink:

Just got my camera back, a bit late though! Just took some updated photo's without the flash, I'm pretty sure now that we have 2 Albino hens and a T.C.B. cock:

Chick 3

Chick 3 and T.C.B.

The middle one is Chick 2 and is much leaner looking than chick 3 who is more densely feathered.

T.C.B.
