Stuffing The Chick
This shot shows the chicks' crop quite clearly - it runs down the right side of the neck. The skin is so translucent that until the feathers grow in, any food in the crop is clearly visible.
In this case, the chick has been fed nestling food, which looks yellowish in the crop, while the greenish colour is because - you guessed it - Baby Doll has been feeding him greens.
