Sad news

Sadly tonight when I got home the last chick had died.  It was white and was

doing really well until Friday night when I caught it to move it to the big house.

Somehow I must have got the butterfly net too tight and hurt its neck.

That night the hen stayed with it but left it overnight.  I went away for the

weekend expecting to come home and find it dead.  It was running about and 

eating well.  Yesterday it got out of the Chook enclosure and also Shilo

got out of her kennel.  Stuart got home to find Shilo with the chick so although

not hurt she may have traumatized it.  The other black chick died the weekend

I went to Tauranga so no chicks left.

Holiday

We had a great holiday at Matarangi.

Beware! 3 Black & Whites

The dogs loved the beach but were a bit wary of the waves.  Shilo got very good at

getting the stick but would watch the waves and wait until they passed before

venturing out.

The chicks had grown while we were away.  One of the black ones

died so now have 2 left.
