September 3, 201014 yr Author PAIR SIX GREY SPANGLE COCK ( Omelettes and his first breeding ) to FRAN MC LAUGHLAN SKY HEN Hen ( Old photo ) Parents to the grey opaline baby that hatched from the cold egg and was fostered in another nest......... ...........have hatched out a sibling today. Fingers crossed it does well. One egg to go. Sibling fostered into another nest. the hen isn't doing the right thing by her chicks. I believe she has gone out of condition. Last egg was there last night and this morning the egg had been opened and the chick found dead. It had been battered and bitten and hidden in the nesting materials by the mother. She has been removed to a holding cage for a week or two before going back into the flights. Other chicks that have fledged have been put into a new kindie cage in one of the corner units I made recently
