6 now

Michael was right in his prediction, after number 5 yesterday, almost black, a little white one appeared this morning.  It could only just have hatched as it was unsteady on its legs and had trouble getting back into the hut over the piece of wood:

I had only just closed the netting after setting down breakfast for everyone and taking a couple of snaps of the 4 older ones enjoying the mash of nettles, dandelions, chopped boiled eggs and a bit of rice and peas and yoghurt ......

...... when the little yellow ball of fluff appeared and plopped down at the top of the ramp.  This evening, though, it was running around with the other five and holding its own, pecking them even!

                                                     Look how little it is compared to the one born last Monday 11th!
