Update

Haven't posted in a few days.  Been sick with the flu. :-(

Cage #1 - The two youngsters have left the nest.  The parents should start to wean them soon.

Cage #2 - A single baby hatched on approximately New Year's Day.  :-)

Cage #3 - Nothing new to report.

Cage #4 - Owl finches; they're doing fine.

Cage #5 - Incubating ELEVEN!!! eggs!  A few were duds, so I removed them.  At least 4 candled as being viable.  Should be due to hatch in roughly 9-12 days.  (Edit: They turned out to be DIS.) It looks like two hens were laying at the same time.   I removed the three weaned youngsters and put them in Cage #6, along with the three youngsters from Cage #3.

Cage #6 - Three fawn pied youngsters from Cage #5 and three chocolate pied youngsters from Cage #3.
