It appears that within the week they'll be too large for the box we have them in now. Ricki just about escaped last night when we took the grate off to give them food, and they can already reach the grate while standing on the ground.

Day Five: Ricki showing real feathers sprouting from her wings, and the little egg tooth has fallen off.

Stella's feathers are even more pronounced.
