new baby budgies

Question
My female, sophie, laid eggs last week. already the chicks (3/4 hatched) are alive and well. what i want to know is: a- how to tell what gender they are
and b- theyre 7,6,and 5 days old and none of them have opened their eyes- is this normal?
can u help?

Answer
Hey Luna,

You can find out their gender by looking at their cere (where their nostrils are). If it is dark, or navy, blue or dark green, it is a male. If it is brown, white, or yellow, it is a female. Don't worry about the baby budgies, they're open their eyes when they're supposed to.

Cheerz,
