13.32 - chicks are hungry - we are looking to eat small pieces of moss

- it may not be because of hunger
- some kind of moss contains moisture and important minerals for them

btw. we saw previous season Urmas collecting moss in Jögeva (and put his moss there); he said it was for research for colleagues from abroad
