Bit of a worrying day - the singleton has been looking rather puffed up and sleepy - this is a dangerous stage. They can just wither away at this point. His father attacked him yesterday and I think he may be in shock or may have picked up an infection so I cleaned the cage thoroughly and added some vitamins to the softfood. If he leaves the nest again, I will hope that one of the other chicks from the nest of three is ready to join him in the nursery. Better for them to have company while they learn to eat for themselves.

I did get this lovely picture of the hen feeding one of her three.
