norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted May 8, 2016 All, Had this chick come out in my black flight, this is the darkest chick I've ever had. Tail is BB, it's been out 3 days now so must have been fed. I haven't noticed any zeb feeding it yet. If it survives it will be interesting to see when moulted out. (Probably end up pure white lol) Trevor ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy 528 Report post Posted May 8, 2016 It is an unusual colour Trevor but that makes it all the more precious. Is its crop full? be a shame to lose it if it wasn't being fed. What colour was the parents? Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmy 528 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 Are you going to hand feed it if it's not getting fed? Or is it starting to eat by itself? Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 Emmy, No not hand feeding, he must be bring fed as he wouldn't survive the day. He's been out 4 days so I'll leave alone. Thanks for asking Emmy, Trevor ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
