This is an update on a Yellow-eyed penguin chick that we talked about here on FB on 4 December when it was sick and had to be treated a long time for Diphtheria. On the advice of a vet we discontinued the medication after 18 days or so and kept a close eye on it. Here it is now aged 65 days old and looking great. It is likely to be a little bit behind in development and may need a little TLC later in our rehab facility but we won't find out until it is weighed at 70 days for its transponder fit. So far so good.
