tailfeathers and happy dances!

The chicks are a week old today! 4 out of 6 have sprouted some tail feathers and all of them are getting some lovely wing feathers.. Some of the more social ones have also started showing excitement when I come to the cage to visit them! It's so cute to watch them all run around and get excited when I get near. Most of them will crowd up to the door to say hello and give a friendly peck or two. One in particular, who loves to cuddle in the palm of my hand, will do a little happy dance when I come to the cage - she runs in a little circle and flaps her wings and chirps. SO adorable!

These little chickies are incredibly fun and I'm amazed at just how much personality they are showing at only 7 days old!

Awww...tailfeathers!! How cute!! Mine just have little wing feathers at this point (4 days old). I am too loving their little personalities and how they get excited to see me!! They still don't love being held, but they are learning I am their friend!!
