I can do the same for the chick with short beak as well, if anyone would like?

I'd love to see.

Not trying to be a downer but this is what parrot beak asil chicks look like. Notice the eye centered in the head? The mutated beak? I dont see you getting to this.

Yep I know. I've seen pictures. The beak ain't cuz a mutation, it's a bred in trait.
Working on breeding down beak size, & up the curvature.

It's gonna take lots of time before I get to the point those are.

PBA chick about the same age as my project chick above.

They turn 3 weeks old tomorrow. So I'll either get one early updates today, or wait till tomorrow.

Counted the tail feathers on the 3 week old Malay chick with the broody, & it has 29 tail feathers so far, not a bad number.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Got a couple more Malay eggs going in the incubator. 2 from My hen that lays Teal, & one from my Dun Partridge.
