When I went to feed the chickens this morning I found 4 dead chicks near Bobby. Two were still alive but very weak. I tried to let them drink some water, but they were too weak even to lift their heads and died in my hand a few minutes later. No idea why they all died so suddenly as they were still very active yesterday. I did notice they didn't drink much water but they often ate from their special babyfood.

Fortunately there is some good news as well: in Paulus' cabin some eggs hatched and I saw two: a yellow one and a black one. Bobby heard them as well and tried desparately get into Paulus' cabin, thinking her chicks were in there.

 

Tonight at 19.30 pm number 3 was there, still wet
