katana600 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 They are soooo adorable in your hands. I still check in on them every day. Sometimes I have seen them flat out just sleeping all sprawled out. Sometimes they cuddle close and are just precious. This has been a marvelous journey to watch them get to the size Juno was when we first held him. Thanks so much for sharing this to give us an appreciation of what you have gone through to raise them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 That bite looked nasty Dave! Sorry to see your finger like that! What can I say about those babies! They are just beautiful!!!!!! Keep the pictures coming, its great to see them in colour, they are just adorable x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 The chicks are growing beautifully - this shot was taken during their first play session on the floor. They are 35, 37, and 40 days old, and weigh around 350g each. They are all healthy and have distinct personalities. As you can see from the photo, they do a fine job of wearing their food, and have wonderfully filled crops after they eat. The oldest tends to "dine" while the others grab for every bit of food offered. We're having fun watching them develop. Anyone that comes through the area is welcomed to stop by to get your fill of adorable :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Would you just look at those little red tail feathers sprouting? Thanks for the update, sometimes lately the camera has been getting tipped over, LOL. I thought they were just getting wild in the nursery. I would just love to come visit the little darlings. Wouldn't it be great if they go to new homes and that person stays in touch with this forum to keep us updated as to watching them flourish.

danmcq Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Awwwwww, they are coming along wonderfully Dave. :-) Last week I was having withdrawal symptoms due to the brooder camera not being available. I had gotten so used to logging in 4 or 5 times a day to watch them, that it became a habit. Now, what are you going to so to fix this? Thanks for the GreYt update photo.

Spinner Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 During our daily floor playtime today, we introduced some toy parts for the chicks to play with. They charged the toys, each picking out their favorites for the day. I was quite surprised that they were coordinated enough to pick up the toys, as can be seen here. Although I missed it with the camera, our dog came in and laid right next to the chicks. They are getting some great opportunities for developing their social skills Yeah, that's more food stuck on their little chests. They're little piggies at dinner time, and it doesn't come off until it dries really well.<br><br>Post edited by: Spinner, at: 2009/11/17 03:26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinner Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 LOL @ Dan - I think I've taken care of the webcam availability. I mounted the cam permanently inside the brooder, and now I don't have to remember to put the cam back up on top when I'm done feeding. Memory doesn't work anymore, so mounting it so it's always there seems to work much better The real benefit is that it's a side view now instead of the top-down view. It's a much better angle to see their antics. Speaking of antics - they have really turned on the activity lately. They're bouncing around, trying to get out of the brooder box, and generally having a grand time. Hope you all enjoy the cam - I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Dave - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I am now getting my baby grey viewing fix and the shakes and delusions have almost stopped. They are so cute. Oh, they are looking out of the brooder and eagerly awaiting your letting them out for the rest of the day anytime now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've just had to peek and there's clearly a trouble maker!! Two of them are quite happily dozing, whilst the third seems to be shouting "pile on" and jumping on top!! I'm in love!!! :kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Oh I just took a peek at the nursery cam and it is so great!!!! Thanks Dave you are a sweetheart to share your grey families with us!!! Kissy, kissy to you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 That new view on the webcam is awesome. Thanks Dave for all you do to keep us watching your babies. They are almost as big as Juno the first time I saw him. It has been a blessing to watch from hatching to becoming playful and independent.
