Hi Everyone
Had 7 GT eggs laid, 6 hatched 1 egg in box infertile, 1 chick died 2 or 3 days later leaving 5, the fifth chick died about 8 days later, leaving 4 chicks which are now more or less on the verge of fledgling although 2 of the 4 seem slightly bigger than the other 2, has to be said that both parents have always been busy feeding their offspring and of course you will always get the dominant chicks being fed first and sometimes it gets frustrating seeing the parents not feeding the ones that you want them to feed, so I end up shouting at the TV screen feed the other ones!!! so cross fingers they will fledge soon.
Cheers
