The second chick of 2016 was born to Red and Alfalfette on April 5th. The incubators are full of eggs and many more chicks are due to hatch in the next few weeks. So it’s nice to have a chance to relax and spend some quality time with these first chicks before the onslaught.
Alfalfette’s chick hasn’t been named yet. She was born very sickly and with splayed legs so it isn’t certain she’ll make it. But her owner is feeding her by hand with a medicine dropper and taped her legs to straighten them out. Her strength is improving every day so the outlook is hopeful.
Guests staying at the Guest House will have plenty of chicks to hold and pet and also have a chance to name this new chick too.
