Does Baby have mites, or is the hair loss normal for this age?

This poor little baby does not look good at all to me. :egg15:

That's a great growth guide, carly.

To me, baby looks more pink with less white down than average. At least he/she doesn't have the black spots. We will be watching closely, won't we? :biggrin:

Thank you...

Sorry.

Saw Terka's photo and got me a little worried since Baby seemed to lose all his hair on his belly pretty quickly and the red (blood looking to me) dots on his wing, crop and face/beak. The stuff over eye, I know is from DC's feeding. I also thought maybe it's the heat is adding to the pink skin color.

I tried looking back at some of the archives from today and the back area looks okay, just the front in that photo.

If it's just prior to fill in, I feel better.

There was a discussion in our Facebook group about the number of nests where the babies are pinker than expected. There did seem to be more nests where this seemed to be a problem this year than in past years, although I guess part of it could be better cam quality this year. It does seem that once they get to about 3 weeks old, they're fine.

Pink babies I can take! My theory [and a totally uneducated one, I might add] is that this baby is being fed so much, he has outgrown his feathers! :egg7:

So good to see all the feedings, even if the parents are a little clumsy and bicker about who is going to do the feeding. Sounds like a lot of humans!
