My Zeb babies be when I see some colour on their beaks?

I have worked out that they left the nest about 12 days ago,

I'm pretty sure mum & dad have another clutch on the go because they are spending less time feeding the babies & more time in the nest

AS soon as the current batch have coloured up I want to move them to another cage so mum & dad can raise the next lot,
then I will be taking out the nests so they can rest over the hot summer months.

Thanks

They can be removed from Mum and Dad at about 4 weeks old (the base of their beaks will be a bit lighter), but I prefer to leave them until they are at least 6-8 weeks old. The beak is usually half coloured by then, but it depends on the colour mutation.
They may already have another clutch starting
