IRN Chicks Progress

I handled one of the Indian Ringnecked chicks for the first time today. They are now about the size of the small of my hand. One of the chicks appears a lot lighter than the others and it also has the pink eyes which I'm lead to believe is the female.
There parents "Nippet" and "Nelly" quickly devour any fruit or vegetables I put in the cage to keep up the food supply to the little guys. They should be fledged by eight weeks of age.
