It seems that Telyn overdid the delayed incubation of egg #1 this season, and we therefore have chicks only from eggs #2 and #3. But what fine chicks they are - thanks to the new man Idris's provisioning and Telyn's mothering, they are doing very well.
Proud parents:
I hope you're not having a justified giggle at my struggles on this routine first of the month, KORKY, cos I didn't do the new thread early! It's been worse, tho.

However, breakfish has been served, and Idris has taken his share and brought it back again after this:

Will post photos from yesterday and today if fixed
sorry all
love from Clare and Limpy

Dang !!! I hope it can be fixed easily. It's not something I've come across so I can't offer words of wisdom.
I'm signing off now, hope to see lotsa LIMPY-PICS when I return ... xx ... to you and CLARE.
