She is nine months old. I'm not sure how big she will get. Does anyone have pics. of their quakers as they get older?

At nine months she is already full grown. biggrin.gif Quakers differ greatly in size though, some like our Casey are much smaller and some are much larger; they vary between about 80g and 150g. smile.gif

yep, your quaker is already full grown. she may gain a little weight and her tail feather may grow a little longer but she's basically done growing!

As a general rule soon as a baby has fledged that's approx the size they will stay...While they will gain weight and as has been mentioned their tail feathers may become longer body wise they are about as big as they'll be. You can pretty much count on them being full grown by their first molt which usually takes place at about 4 months of age, give or take.

So I totally agree, you're baby is full grown! tongue.gif

I've never weighed Truman, but he got him at five months old and he has definitely filled out. While he did't get "bigger," he definitely has gained in bulk. He had sort of a more babyish look too which I didn't realize until he lost it.

Quakers are full grown after the first molt or so. they def vary in size.. my Saphira is 84grams... while my Lily ranges between 113 and 118grams.. there are people on here with 140+gram quakers.
