Thank you guys
Since we first got our bundle thus little one has been a slow grower. It's brothers and sisters are looking great with their feathers and Suze but this one is a slow grower. I named it Nemo. I am unsure if it's a boy or a girl. They are 8 weeks as of yesterday the 6th. Any insight would be...
