After about 28 days of incubation, the eggs hatch into precocial youngsters. (Baby birds that hatch out covered with feathery fuzz, and able to run and peck at their food immediately, are called precocial birds. They are herded along by the mother and covered (brooded) until they are able to control their own body heat. These youngsters are taught survival and foraging skills by their parents.) As soon as the moisture has dried from their down, the young are on their feet and leave the nest. They are mere bits of pinkish-buff fluff with a downy tail and long "toothpick" legs that can swiftly carry them to cover. They are almost immediately able to secure their own food. Three or four weeks after hatching they are capable of taking to the air.
