| It was Sunday evening, when I think the male decided to indulge in a 'take-away' but he was going for quantity, rather than quality! He appeared with a worm about 8cm in length which he initially offered to the hen. She then dangled it over the chicks and they, in turn, took the bait. However, being small and very young it was too much for them to handle and it was like watching a tug-of-war between chick and hen. Eventually the hen swallowed the worm herself (perhaps to regurgitate some for the chicks?), but the whole happening was very comical to watch. Boring it aint! |
