1 week old! Millie the not-so-brave.

Zonked out!  Millie face first into bed.

Finally, one week old. I wish they could stay this age *forever*! Today, I came home to a nice surprise. Gertie has a tail! Hehe. See the little feathers?

Gertie sees her tail feathers and thinks, "That's new!"

So even though I know Millie is a late bloomer compared to Gertie, I thought maybe I could help nudge her into at least trying to fly.  Utter. Failure.  She wouldn't do it and she wouldn't even flap her wings.  She wouldn't even make the small little hop one inch off the ground.

I present to you: Millie in the feature film called, "I don't know how to use my wings yet.  Please let me down."
