Hello,

I have a 4.5 week old quaker that i am hand feeding. I got him from a local breeder and I am wondering a few things. One how much fuzz do they still have at 4 weeks old? I raised cockatiels and ringnecks and they were feather more then this little guy is at 4 weeks. Just wondering if that is normal. He is a bigger guy and eating well and bright and alert. Here is a photo of him.

I can't help you, but I wanted to say he sure is a cutie! Hopefully someone who knows will come along soon.

:greenyellow:My new little guy is 7 weeks. His flight feathers haven't grown in completely but he isn't fuzzy. I am hand feeding him too. Started the weaning today by offering millet which he liked. Tomorrow I'm trying pellets soaked in apple juice. I'll hand feed them to him as suggested here. So much fun awaits.

I'm sorry, I have no experience with hand feeding. I just had to say your baby quaker is absolutely precious! Both my QP's were much older when I got them, hard to imagine either of them being so small. Please keep posting photos, I would love to see this little one grow up.
