Hi Guys as most of you know my p'lets laid their first ever clutch off eggs just recently, well they had six eggs and 3 hatched, sadly one chick didnt make a day but i have two very healthy very big chicks at the moment :)
the parents have been fantastic so far and i cant believe i have two chicks out of my first clutch i really didnt expect to get any.
ive been told its around 7 weeks i can remove them as long as they are eating well, is this right? they are just over 3weeks at the moment but are nearly as big as their parents and their feet are massive. Anyway here are some pics for you all sorry for the poor quality as there only off of my phone in a dark nest box. Also i think i may possibly have one female and one male.
The parents
