I honestly have no idea on how old they were. The sales lady at the feed store wasn't 100% sure when they were hatched, but they were complete little fuzzballs w/no pin feathers. I've had them now almost 3 weeks (Friday will be week 3). They've doubled in size. I have a 200watt heatlamp right above their tote & it's on 24/7. There's a box on it's side that they're using as a coop & that's where they sleep at night. They seem to be very healthy & fat.. you cannot feel their breastbone at all & I know that in canaries & psittacins that's what was important. But it's not like I'm planning on eating them!!
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
