Growth Cycle Days 8 - 10

Day 10

Over these three days you can see how quickly the feathers are growing. The Tail feathers are just starting to stick out.
Also from Day one to now the amount for growth in the young is quite astounding. It is no wonder that the young need a consistent amount of good food to grow to their full potential for heath and size.

Day 9

Day 8

You can see here that the pin feathers are just starting to protrude.

Growth Cycle Day 5

You can see at this stage that the feathers are just beginning to grow. The top left bird has some dark marks beginning at the wings and already with the finch in the centre you can see that the colour Mutation is different, it has a lighter smokey look in comparison to the dark marks of the bird above.
