Well, Jack, it's probably a case of having a face only a mother could love...

HAHAH I guess so.

Just a update One of the three birds is like HUGE compared to the other ones wich are 2 and 3 days younger what does this mean? But they are all healthy and seam to love chewed up celery!

older ones always look HUGE in comparison to the younger ones

You ask the sexes...but in photo no 1 you dont show a full cere shot.

 

Second chick...doesnt look cinnamon to me.

well i could be wrong kaz as it is a dark shot shadowing on wings makes it change shade of colour but looked cin compared with first one

 

is their chance at better shots in day light please no objects in way

place chick in something or on something rather than holding it

Well this is the best i can do with a bid box and some very active baby birds lol.

First bird:

 

And Here is its cere

 

2nd bird:

 

well ill be stood corrected

that is definitely not cinnamon

beautiful spangling

on second chick

and beautiful clear mantel on Opaline chick

also im going to say

that i was wrong with colour also in this picture they are second one cobalt looking could be violet if it was you would know by just looking so if its not purple its cobalt

 

first one cant really tell from top but not sure its mauve but not sure its not its violet looking more than number too but still greyish so mmmm im guessing i should just wait to see when its fledged in light on a perch but you will know yourself by then im sure

their both beautiful chicks mate

See when i compare them to pictures on the net i find the first chick mauve and the second chick sky blue. So there both females correct??

And anyway don't they both have to be spangles anyway seeing as the mother is a DF spangle?

And Here is its cere

 

 

Well, that is definitely a front on cere shot! But unfortunately, the way the color looks washed out, it's hard to tell whether that's any white I'm seeing, or just the lighting conditions. I almost think it could be a male, but it's hard to say.

Yes, it did look like a hen then. So it ought to have a whitish cere now with light blue. What do you see when you look at the bird in person?

Exactly That

Just to let everyone know both birds are out the nest eating seed from the floor of breeding cage. LOL they keep trying to get back into the nesting box but the hen literally throws them both out lol. She laid another egg today is it okay to keep it in there?? Also when do I move the young too into the kindi cage? Is there any quarantine needed?

Move the babies into a kindie cage NOW.....................before the hen attacks them for trying to get back into her nestbox where she is keen to have a second round of eggs.

I agree with Kaz 100% It is CRUCIAL that you move the chicks. Otherwise you risk their lives.

The mother is ready to lay and she will kill them if she see's them as something dangerous to her new nest.

Only a couple days ago I had it happen to a nest that wern't even leaving the nest yet.

okay i moved them. How can i be 100% sure they can eat by themselfs?

You said they have been eating seed on the floor. They should be alright. If you put seed in and their are no husks, you know they aren't eating.
