Two Weeks Old
The girls are now two weeks old and have moved three times to bigger quarters. Yesterday after work I removed them from the large cardboard box and inserted a piece of plywood four feet wide by 27 inches high across the nursery room I built. The space was then filled with pine shavings, a larger water dispenser, and another feed container that they like to stand in. I then went outside and fashioned a new bigger and wider roost from a fallen branch. They are growing fast, with new tail feathers and huge feet! When I turn on the light each morning they love to spread their wings and fly all over the place.
