At the moment my 3week olds look like a puff of wing feathers and still have their fluffy heads, sooo just a couple of quick questions:
* Do baby buttons feathers change colour as they get older?
* When do they get their 'adult' feathers?
* Does the male 'Bib' appear from the very start or does it grow in with the adult feathers?
* When do the male red vent feathers appear?
also..
Is there a way to stop chicks from pecking at their own toes? one of my lil fluffballs has a half toe becoz he pecked it..
