Last chick of the season

I am not hatching anymore chicks this season.  I have chicks everywhere at the moment it seems, with chicks being born about every two weeks for the last few months. This last one though is a little special.  It is our little 'surprise' chick.  A surprise because it was hatched from the egg layed on the day we took delivery of our new Belgian d'Uccle trio.  We know the mother is one of our d'Uccle mille fleur hens, but not the rooster they were with before we bought them so it is a bit of wait and see over what colour it will be.  Looks to be blue though so I am speculating blue mille fleur. Time will tell.  What I can say though is that it is cute as a button and about as small as one.  Those 'friends' with it in the picture are from the top of Darrell Lee easter eggs.
