Hey this lil ones eyes are quite large...born last night bout 11pm.
I notice it has dark pink feet and even pink around the beak. ..ever seen this before in a Satin?
It's acting perfectly normal and like all the others in there. But thought it was odd.

Could have some paint genetics?
The pink may darken with time.
How many have hatched so far?
Looks like you got some different colors!
