We are almost at the end of hatching - a single egg still to go but unlikely to hatch now unfortunately and Vivek's eggs were the last ones to be laid and ought to be hatching presently. So the tally stands at 66 chicks hatched but 5 have died so far (no sponsored ones but one of Stitches' chicks, the other is being treated). We are currently treating 15 chicks and they are progressing well. Among them are Poppy's chicks - here in the photo. Their symptoms were not severe and they are almost done with their course of antibiotics. What was striking about these two are the size difference: it's always a sign that something is amiss. The difference was not huge but there ought not be any at all.
