Melissa, you should have some gorgeous babies! Can you post some pics? I have some of Karen's birds (bought juveniles and eggs earlier this year) and they are really nice. What colors did you end up with?

How cute! What are the eyes made out of? And what did you use for the red comb? Assuming carrots for the mouth.

You can make deviled eggs too and use capers for the eyes or little pieces of pickles or even green onions or chive snips for the eyes
