We are now down to 3 chickens. Sadly 2 of the buff chickens died. One I found dead and the other was calling out all night and the next morning was looking a bit cold. I put it under a lamp and gave it food and water and it was starting to look quite perky. I checked on it when I let the dogs out in the evening and it had died. It was still warm so it had just happened.
The chick that came from an earlier hatching looks like it is going to be a Rooster.
We watched Jake climb this ponga with amazing skill. While he was busy working his way up, the rat that he had spotted had walked down a frond to another ponga and then along a branch to a tree and disappeared in to the bush. Jake got to the top and looked around the ponga like he couldn't believe the rat wasn't there any more.
I tried to take photos as he came down but they are all a bit blurry and it was rather funny watching him.
