Very sadly, our first chick Squeak died on Friday. It hadn't been looking very lively for a day or two, and just went downhill. There isn't much you can do for them, and it's very common I think. So, both Sussex chicks have died (Lucky never made it out of the incubator), and we're left with just ONE chick - Liquorice the Barnevelder.The good news is that its leg hobble fell off on Friday, and it can walk very well now, when before it couldn't at all - much worse than Squeak. Here he or she is having a brief explore of the utility room. We can already see feathers developing on its wing-buds, at only 5 days old!
