I had to reduce the resolution on this picture in order to post it, but I if you look really close on the tips of the pin feathers on the wings, you will see a little bit of green feather beginning to emerge. This is a picture of #1, the oldest baby. It is also possible to see the pattern where the yellow is going to emerge on the top of the head. Here is a close up and if you look close you can see the green on some of the tips. I always thought the way the rows appear to create patterns that the feathers emerge in was interesting. They certainly aren't as cute as the little ducklings who emerge from the egg covered with a sharp down, but if everything happened the same way life would not be so very interesting!
