On the left, Scrap shows that his gape is as big as the others - he is the chick at the top as he is on the right.
We are becoming more and more interested in Scrap, the youngest of Fantail's chicks, and the only one who still has his ear tufts. (By these, we mean the tufts of feathers that young chicks have sticking out of their heads where ears often are. These tufts normally disappear before fledging.)
Scrap is a fighter. Although Scrap is by far the smallest chick, Scrawny is now not easy to differentiate from the larger chicks, he is usually at the front of the queue for food and always makes his presence obvious to an incoming parent - with or without food!
