As with the first chick I wanted to see the second chick being fed before reporting on its well being. Since it hatched out of its shell yesterday afternoon it has been fed three times, twice yesterday and once this morning. Both chicks are looking quite strong so we are hopeful that the problems of 2007 are not going to repeat themselves. If everything goes to plan we will be seeing the third chick sometime Wednesday afternoon/ Thursday morning, we will obviously inform you when(if) the event takes place.
There will be a more concise blog at the weekend which will summarise all of the events of the very active and exciting last ten days.
