This is Cassello Chilcott

She is a blessed yellow-eyed penguin chick that has recently been sponsored by a kind person. Thank you!!
She is also one of our 36 chicks (of 53 total hatched at Moeraki) who is now residing in our rehab facility. Like the others she dropped significantly weight suddenly and we had to bring in many of the chicks among them those that are either sponsored themselves, have sponsored parents or have grown up in a sponsored box. Here is a run-down of the fates of all these:
Bequette's chicks growing up in Wild 3 box: Jax (a male) and Chris (a female): both in hospital
Janet: one chick (female) in hospital, the other is monitored in the field.
Thor's chick (female) in hospital

Poppy's chicks: one (female) is in hospital, one chick (male) is monitored in the field.
Ciara's and Stewie Junior's chicks in Uncle Chang's box: one has been in hospital since December, the other is a female and monitored in the colony.
Chicky's chick growing up in Flipper Palace is female and in hospital
Jackson's chick growing up in Anja and Alfreda's box is female and monitored in the field.
I hope I haven't missed anyone...... In many cases we brought in the chicks to relieve the parents, particularly young females. They have done great getting their chicks to where they are at now but it's time for them to look after themselves. The chicks will be with us in hospital until they are over 6kg or so and then released when they are old enough, i.e. 108 days old. Some of the chicks we have had since the food crisis in December are due to be released next weekend: old and fat enough.
