Mel & Misty picts...Hi all! Instead of adding picts to the huge thread I started last week, thought I would show you what Mel & Misty are looking like from day 2 until earlier today, when they were 7 days old. I'll keep adding as they continue to grow.
 I'll post them individually, so you can view them without clicking on any links. This first picture is of Misty when she was 2 days old. Last edited by Izzy; 22nd September 2004 at 11:30 PM. |

Last one, this is Misty after a nice lunch. My flash is very bright, so I don't think you can see she has tiny feathers on the edges of her wings today.

The chicks look really good now and well fed!!! Thanks for posting those pictures so we could all see their progress. You're doing a fine job. I think you will end up with a hen and a male bird afterall. Take care, Brad |

Hiya Brad and Cynthia! It is so very fun to see them growing up a little bit. They both weigh 1.25 ounces now, they were just half an ounce on day 2! They seem positively big compared to just 7 days ago, lol!
Can't wait to see the feathers start to come in, I'm hoping from other picts I've seen, maybe next week sometime. Thanks for taking a look at their picts, I love showing them off, lol! Izzy |

Wow - what a difference good care and feeding makes! Picture 2 day 7 looks like they're smiling - probably happy dreams of warm nest and good food in crop. Such cute babies. Good job!

Thank you very much Terri and Mary! Yeah, I have to admit I think they are quite adorable too, but I'm a bit biased, lol!
You are so right Terri, they DO look like they are smiling in that pict, lol! Izzy |

Okies, time for a picture update, lol!
Here is one from yesterday. This is Misty in her 'usual' position as I feed her. Was kinda tough trying to take the picture and hold the feeding syringe at the same time, that's why her head is cut off, oops. You can see the tiny little feathers that are on the edge of her wings in this one. |

Day 9Yesterday, they were 9 days old, btw, I noticed how there are places that are really getting dark on the squabs. Especially down the spine...or maybe that IS the spine? Kinda looks like veins, maybe that is what it is, someone could jump in and tell me though.
Here's a good 'overhead' shot of Mel, showing off these lines down his back. |

Day 10Hey! I think these are the beginning of feathers on Misty's body! I noticed them earlier this evening and just had to take a shot.
They are going up the back of her left leg there, see them? She had them on the other side too, heh. |
