Day 9
The difference between the two chicks is increasing. One is a lot bigger
as can be seen in the photo. This morning One's crop was empty while Two's
crop was full. One can stand up and lift its head though it is quite wobbly
and takes frequent breaks. Two is still just lying there. One of Two's legs
is improving, moving more underneath its body. We don't get much time to
observe the behaviour of the chicks and adults in the nest so I can't really
say if One is actively working to push Two to the margins of mom's (and dad's)
attention.
