Mandy Lu II chick is going home TOMORROW!
We are very happy to announce that the second chick from Mandy Lu nest has recovered very well. The lesions caused by the bot flies are no longer inflamed. Indeed, they are pretty much completely healed. Its weight is above average and it is starting to open its eyes!
Because it is doing so well, we are planning to place this chick back in its nest tomorrow.
This is our first big test of our techniques for the season so we will be monitoring the bird closely. We are confident all will go well, but just in case we are planning to watch all morning with our nest video cameras to make sure its parents reincorporate it back in to the family without incident.
We will keep you updated on our progress!
