Awww, I agree it's not their 'cutest' stage but ...
I still find them cute, in their own way Whilst we all know how repidly they grow I was taken by the statistic from LotL that they put on 70% of their adult size in the first month I don't remember reading that before Incredible
I was supposed to be reporting that the chicks were being fed some time ago now but I was sidetracked first by the more positive news from Glaslyn and then the antics of YW and B35 at Foulshaw
