QT is 104 days old and weighed in at 6.1kg (13.45) lbs. Expected weight minimum at this stage for a female should be 6.7kg so the rangers gave her extra hydration and supplemental feeding of 1kg bringing her weight up to 7.1kg (15.65 lbs) This extra weight will help QT with the cooler weather. Many thanks to the entire DOC staff and team members on their excellent care for all the albatross and their chicks. Thank you for watching!
