Thanks. AKA mantarays, stingrays...
 
We have 5 little new chicks today. 2 have feathered legs and toes.

The last one (not shown) had a hard start to life. I was nebulising when it hatched so my OH picked it up and removed it from the incubator and put it into the nursery. But it would not stop chirping/crying so when I finished nebuluising, I went over to it and picked it up and instantly realised it was very nearly dead from being cold. The hot water bottle came out and was used and it is now warm, dry and silent, sleeping. If it makes it through the night, it will be fine.

The older 3 chicks that are 23 days old, are having their first night outside.
 
Me, my father, his wife and my husband at dinner yesterday. You can read all about the food in the what did you eat today thread.

The company was good, the food not so much.
Sorry to hear, but luckily the company is more important :)
Hope you had a good day anyway
