Chick 1's eyes are starting to open and you can see the dark lines along its wings where pin feathers are starting to grow. In a few more days it will be big enough to start coming out for cuddles :)
Chick 6 has finally hatched. It was a bit dehydrated so I brought it out to give it a drink. Here's a size comparison between Chick 1 and Chick 6. I'll keep a close on them to make sure that the youngest chicks manage to get fed. Chick 5 had a full crop which bodes well for Chick 6 also getting fed.

Oh my, Chick 1 looks enormous! They are both very cute, and it's lovely to see that they've all hatched safely.

Chick 1 is even huger (that word does not look right when typed out) now! I've started to suppliment Chick 6 with some formula to help it to grow huge as well :) Poor little speck doesn't always get noticed when 5 bigger, louder chicks are begging mum and dad for dinner.
