OoO!! Congrats!

From my own experience, I leave the chicks with their parents until they are 4-5 weeks of age. They usually get their colours at… 6-8 weeks, my male finches took a little longer I think, and they can start breeding when they are around 6 weeks old, but I do not recommend this!

But congrats! They are gawjus babies!
