Isabelle has re-written the laws of the Darwinian selection process again, from "Survival of the fittest" to the much more sentimental but wholly unworkable "All Survive". One of three chicks hatching this morning had given up its task of pecking through the eggshell, so required some assistance into this world. By the look of things, this new Chick That Shouldn't Be has received cossetting all day long and is now convinced that Isabelle is a hen, albeit a very large one.
"Do you think it could be a premature chick? He needs to sleep next to something warm"
"Well you can stay up here with it, because its like an oven upstairs tonight..."
