Pinkie is lucky to be alive. The reason I'm posting this is because I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar experience.
Supergirl is Pinkies mum. Pinkie also has 2 other siblings.
Supergirl was sat on her clutch. During the time she was sitting I saw Honey have a flutter with her. .naughty but natural.
Supergirl started to feed once the eggs hatched. Im always careful not to scare off the hen and Supergirl was very nervous so I left the checking about a week at the most. This first check showed 3 hatchlings. .1 being very pink, hence the name Pinkie. Pinkie was bald but the other 2 had some feathers coming.
At 20 days the other 2 fledged but Pinkie was not ready. She kept calling to Supergirl but mum didnt come. While I was watching Pinkie took a leap of faith..omg..I had to rescue her as she was wobbling hopelessly on a branch. I popped her down on the cage floor (the cage is waste height). She was terribly young. I worked out from my records that Pinkie was 11 days old I didnt think she'd make it but mum found her and fed her and she has survived.
To this day Pinkie still looks 1/3 smaller than her siblings and bald around her bum. Will these feathers ever appear or is it because she hatched so late and the
different things just wasnt on her side. We are all attached to Pinkie but wonder if her life will be shorter than the others. She seems very well in herself.
1st pic of Pinkie now and the rest as she grew stronger. She looked very odd.
