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.
