First Peek The chicks are three days old now, and finally the Cam gets a peek at one while Baby Doll is feeding. It is not unusual for a canary hen to be so protective of her babies that it is difficult to tell if she is actually feeding - they adopt a position very like the one they assume while turning the eggs, and it can be difficult to know for sure if the youngsters are being fed. This is the main reason why it is usually easier to just take a look at the chicks' crops - if they have been fed, you will be able to easily see it through the fine translucent skin of the chicks' necks.
