H.I.M.'s remaining chick has survived the mouth of a dog, fowl pox and being attacked by a mean hen, but nothing prepared it for today. Today H.I.M. decided it was time to start laying eggs again. She went into the nest box and the chick climbed in too. The chick found the whole situation very boring and soon wandered away. The chick is still very dependent on its mother, but H.I.M. is starting to ignore its cries. She still allows the chick to cuddle at bedtime, but she is ready to move on and raise the next clutch of eggs.
