Thought I'd do one pic a day (pending on weather conditions) everyday of a clutch of 4 chicks colouring up till fully feathered. - 4th chick will be added once it starts to show colour
The chicks mutations are:
chick 1-Violetdf Blue or
Violetsf Darksf Blue (Violet Cobalt)
chicks 2 & 4-Violetsf Blue
chick 3-Darksf Blue (Cobalt)
~Parents Violetsf Darksf Blue (Violet Cobalt) / Cinnamon? x Violet Blue Pallid~
Each pic was taken roughly at the same time, same place each morning in the sun (unless otherwise stated)
It may serve as a reference, or just enjoyment- anyhow let's begin~
Day1 (starting at 2 weeks, 5 days- the first chick to show colour)
Day2
Day3
Day4
Day5
Day6- 4th chick appears to Violet(sf) Blue- but since only 1 feather tip is showing I've decided not to add it in today's pic.

Chicks 2 & 4 (Violetsf Blues) were sent off for handrearing at 41 & 38 days old, chicks 1 & 3 (Violetsf Darksf Blue or Violetdf Blue & Darksf Blue) and the were left with their parents
Update- at 49 days old the Darksf Blue fledged, followed by the Violetsf Darksf or Violetdf Blue a day later.
Chick 3 with dad (50 days old)
Chicks 1 and 3 (51 days old)
Chicks 2 and 4 (56 & 53 days old -taken with mobile)
