We had to lock Lewis in his cage inside the aivery so he did not kill & consume the chicks like he did last year, so he could still feed Sky & they have done a great job! the chicks were getting fed regularly by mum!
I thought long & hard about when to start hand rearing as i hadn't done this before & decided to pull them at 2 weeks so 1 week ago i did, my husband made me a brooder (fish tank, heat mat & a temperature controlled thermostat, he's so ace at things like this) it's worked a treat! 1 week on & my babies are doing great they're on 4 hourly feeds through the day last feed at 11pm 1st at 7am & every time i feed them it's brill they are soooo cute
they both are going to be blue or turquoise as their little pins are coming through which is exciting i can't wait to see them in full feather!Had a look in the aivery & i think i saw lewis & sky breeding! mabe 2nd clutch this year?
who knows!
