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.

Adorable! I can't wait to see what the babies will look like! Are they going to be blue? The parents aren't split to anything are they?

Can't tell the colors in the photos. What colors are the two chicks? Congratulations on your first clutch? What will happen to the babies? Are you selling them or keeping them?

thanks for the replys guys, the babies should be blue and their feathers are looking that way :) although i wouldnt mind if they were a little different. I am going to hand tame the babies as my adults are not particularly tame and hopefully talk my boyfriend in to agreeing to let me keep them as would like to keep my first ever babies.
