Such beautiful babies!

I don't know if this counts. It is not a current photo. This is my Kevin when he was a baby, with three of his siblings and his mama. I think he is the grumpy looking one in the center. Today he is 5 months old.
This is the earliest photo I have of him.

Thank you. This is a photo of my boy from about a week ago. His mama is an indian blue standard and his dad in an indian blue white. A lot of his brothers and sisters look white or partially white. He looks like he will turn into a blue. I don't know much about plumage. He is my first bird.



Here is what he looked like when I took him under my care four months ago

Great pics. I love to see the progression from chick to adult. I have a couple chicks right now that I'm unsure of what color they will be. Thanks for sharing!!

This is my first peachick. We inherited a house which came with 3 peacocks and 1 peahen, all India Blues I think. Our peahen refused to lay all spring and summer but one day we found one of her eggs being incubated by a tiny hen, along with the eggs of quite a few different hens. We put the peahen egg in the incubator, because of the difference in hatch times, and when he finally hatched, we put him under another broody hen. He had a real problem with splayed legs for a few days and required some quite complex splinting. I didn't want him to be raised alone so couldn't put him in a brooder in one of those cardboard tubes or the hen would have rejected him when he got better. He coped admirably well and within 3 days went from unable to stand, to running around beautifully. Sadly the hen rejected him after 5 weeks (she's always a short-term mother) and he now wanders the garden 'wheeping' and sometimes wailing. He's so tame that when he gets cold he comes for cuddles. This is when he's a few days old. I'll see if I can find a picture of him now at about 7 weeks.

He is adorable. Would love to see more pics of him as he gets bigger.
