Sounds like there doing fine, one of the reasons young come out of the nest, when you go into the aviary they can get startled, the hen/cock sitting on them quickly escapes from the nest and sometimes the young get caught under the wing and get thrown from the nest. Not sure if this happened in your case but try to be carful when entering aviary. they should be colouring up and you'll soon identify what sexes you have. congratulations. Not sure if you have or not but if can ring the parents, you will easy identify after they fully colour the parents
