When do the jumbo wild coturnix start to feather? I have 23 hatchlings and my first to hatch are 6 days old and the last to hatch is 2 days old and is so small. I noticed today when I was handling them and cleaning their brooder that they are getting their wing pin feathers I think. Is that normal?

Yes it is totally normal and in like 3-5 days they will look almost fully feathered lol. Would love to see pics of the cute babies.

Here they are. With the heat plate and without. They will be going to a bigger brooder next friday. I want to make sure the littlest ones will be ok first. The bigger ones are already starting to feather. There is a 3 to 4 day difference between the larger ones and the littles.
