Green quakers have yellow down when hatched. Blue ones have
white.

I always say quakers will mate and produce in their own
time. Bless you for keeping them together and not switching
out for different mates.

Hopefully you are giving parents soft foods to eat such as
cooked brown rice, mashed hard boiled egg and baked sweet
potato. I give a teaspoon of each 2 or 3 times a day when
there are babys along with other healthy veggies and foods.

Do you know about this Em? If not I can give you a list to
feed.

I pulled most q babys at 10 days old just like the tiels.
They are wonderful to handfeed.

congratulations :-)
