England’s Chester Zoo, the most visited zoo in the U.K., has seen more than a dozen flamingo eggs hatch since June 29.

According to the zoo, the flamingo chicks start off white or gray in color and look like “tiny balls of cotton wool.”

The zoo says that when the flamingos, which are from the Caribbean flock, reach six months, they will get their iconic pink feathers.

The zoo also predicts that more chicks will be hatching in the coming weeks.
