Hello everyone :-)

CHICK 🐥🐥🐥 (🐥) + 🐥
- 1st chick: 58 days old (hatched in the night 21./22.05)
- 2nd chick: 58 days old (hatched in the night 21./22.05)
- 3rd chick: 57 days old (hatched on 23. 05)
- 4th: on 24. 05; brood reduction by female on 28.05 - 4 days old :(

- one chick, Bonus 2, adopted on 18.06
- info about the 2nd saved chick: viewtopic.php?p=59858#p59858; and next: The young stork at the rescue station is showing improvement, although its leg coordination remains problematic. Its movements still resemble those of a much younger chick. It is uncertain whether its condition will progress sufficiently to allow for migration, but only time will tell.

Stork chicks grow exponentially. 90 days in the nest is like 18-21 years for humans. This means that 1 day in the nest is like almost 3 months for a human child. That is why their transformation is so amazing and fast.

Leg Ring Identification:
Three of the chicks carry rings 7201, 7202, and 7203, while the adopted/foster chick (referred to as "Bonus") carries the distinct ring 710L.
