[AzzyAngel]

I can understand you

 

[nanay]

I hope your conure chicks hatch. I will enjoy seeing their pictures. I don't know anything about raising conures, so can't answer your question regarding how long it takes the eggs to hatch.

 

[allen]

well i have candled them and all 4 look fertile to me

 

[nanay]

That's great, Allen!

 

[allen]

They sure are different sizes.

My daughter wants me to tell you your babies look cool, and she loves them.

I'm especially interested in the pictures of these babies since I'm getting a green cheek now. Thanks for posting.

the next chick is due this saturday the last one hatched 1 day eary

 

[allen]

ok so the last chick hatched so we have 3 baby conures

 

[allen]

ok since i have never had conure chicks before i have a question in the pic here i have noticed something on the side of the mouth just wondering if this is normal

 

[Jenny]

It's hard to say with the photo being so small, but some of the larger parrots have a little 'bulge' on the side of the beak when they're that young which will slim down and harden with time. Are you hand-feeding the chicks?

 

[allen]

ok that is what it is it is on the side of the beak i was just told this is normal and it goes away once they wean

no i,m not hand feeding i,m hand raising them though

here is a link to most of my pics if you guys want to check them out
