Farewell little chick :(

A terrible thing greeted me upon my return home from a trip to the theatre yesterday. One of my little chicks had drowned in the duck pond :( This was a very sad discovery as the chicks had been going so well but I think that the new rooster is establishing the pecking order in the chicken yard and accidentally chased the chick into the pond; he's been chasing everyone and everything! I think is what happened because another one of the chicks nearly ended up with the same fate today. Luckily I was on hand and watching but as it happened the chick aquaplaned across the pond and out the other side. Needless to say there is no duck pond in the chicken yard anymore and the pressure is on John to build the permanent duck pond and accomodation.

RIP little chick
