What's up with this lil guy?

    He's growing fast 😃 The chicks development is so fast (over about 10/12 weeks) that they need a lot of food. Just like humans, when you're full of food a lot more blood goes to your digestive system and so your head has less and you feel like having a nap. Sometimes you see a large number of snoozing chicks just after feed time. Once they wake up they look a lot more lively and you'll sometimes notice them flapping their wings to build up strength 😃

    The two to the right are doing the same thing. But they are a bit smaller so still need to have an adult standing by to protect them, although we've sometimes noticed a larger chick standing with them.

    So cute 😄
