I have to say its amazing to see how much will power the lil one has.. He is still going strong.. My neice has them for the weekend.. but .. I am only a phone call away.. I have to work so she is taking them and I know she'll do find with them.. I showed her everything this morning.. I've laid claim to the one that I had in my hand.. His/her name is MEDIUM

- So.. I will have a parakeet.. named.. MEDIUM... yay! (barring any tragedies and they all make it)

Peter-John's Love · 10-09-2009, 11:46 AM

YEAH

WooooHoooo

YEAH

Prayers continue...so glad they are getting along so far...this is the thoughest time for them, so if they can keep going now - later should be easier.

Lots of people love hand fed babies, so that actually will make them better for homing - if you can ever let them actually leave the nest

Love the name of your new baby - can't wait to see their colors...do you know at all yet what colors they will be, look like they could have different colors to them.

Keep updating and adding more pics too - just love to see them

Thanks PeterJohn... I do belive that they will either be .. blue (dadddy) or yellow(mama) or GREEN.. mix..heehee

That is great news! Cant wait for a update with pics! They are adorable little things!

My babies are getting bigger..

We have 4 babies.. the two biggest (large & medium) have feathers growing and they will soon be by them selves in a carrier, the other two (small -my baby and teeny) are getting there- teeny may always be small and he is starting to OPEN his wittle baby eyes.

1st up TEENY

2nd is MEDIUM

3rd is LARGE

and 4th is .. You can see -small- my baby is the 1st one closet to the camera then large's pecked head, then medium behind that..

qtrhorse1993 · 10-12-2009, 08:57 PM

wow!! they look great! you are doing so well with them! the teeny one is soooo small, but they all look great! thanks for the update...i look for it all the time.

snwflk · 10-12-2009, 08:59 PM

Thanks- what do you think will happen w/teeny? Is it possible for him to be stunted?

qtrhorse1993 · 10-13-2009, 05:59 AM

no, he just needs more food and attention. he may need to eat more often, but his gullet looked full from the pics...if he winds up a little small, he will still be fine. how much younger is he from the rest of them?

snwflk · 10-13-2009, 10:54 AM

He is technically 4 days smaller.. but.. He isnt doing so hot today.. I dont know he just isnt perky.. I hate to seperate him just cuz he might not make it since he'd get cold..I dont have a brooder and right now they are in my bathroom living in a carrier on a heating pad.. He just wasnt perky this morning. But hopefully he perks up later..

qtrhorse1993 · 10-14-2009, 06:23 AM

im sure he will be fine, do not seperate him, he will need the warmth and the comfort of his "family" im sure he will be better just a little weak in the mornings....before coffee..LOL dont worry though, he has come along way, he will be fine.

snwflk · 10-15-2009, 02:01 AM

Well TEENy is still that.. TEENy.. I think he 's just not growing. He cant hold his head up.. and he is only 3 days behind one that is 4x his size and has tons of pin feathers growing.. He hardly eats.. (its just so sad)

We are pretty sure we are just providing life support at this time

- But we'll keep on truckin.. I just wish mother nature would step in .. I hate to prolong the invedible... It'd be easier on my neice..

qtrhorse1993 · 10-15-2009, 08:19 AM

my prayers are with you, have you. have you tried a bird vet to get some advice? or even a local breeder of small birds, they usually have good sound advice and could even offer some ideas.i will also look to see what i can find out for you...

slamberson · 10-15-2009, 01:32 PM

Awe! Congrats!!! You seem to be doing such a wonderfull job ! Good luck!!

Horselady44 · 10-15-2009, 01:36 PM

wow...they look awesome! I hope Teeny pulls through (((PRAYERS))). The others are looking great!!! Your a good birdy mommy

snwflk · 10-15-2009, 03:02 PM

I went to the thrift store and bought a NICE cage on a stand and it had perchs included.. I plan on scrubbing it silly .. then putting it in my office! Plus its good sized.. So in a month my lil guy should be fully feathered and living in his new home

qtrhorse1993 · 10-16-2009, 08:20 PM

just wondering how Teeny is doing?

snwflk · 10-16-2009, 10:32 PM

Well so far.. teeny has opened his other eye.. just a lil slit.. but still a glimmer of hope maybe.. All the vets I have talked to said not much they can do either.. SO.. Mabye just maybe he'll survive and just be a nekid chicken
