The speed of growth of the babies is amazing. A week ago, as they hatched, these babies were hidden away under the hen. Now you can see how fast they have developed. Today feather quills are emerging.

If I had not ringed them last night, by tonight they would have been too big to get the leg rings in place - as you can see the hen is not able to cover everyone now.

Check out my Roller blog for an exciting update and a super photo of the Roller nest.
