- CHICK
- DUCKLING

This was one of those Strands games where I was a little uncertain about what the connection was here until I solved the first one, at which point everything became very easy.

After that all I needed to do was cast my mind back to when my kids were young, back in the days when I seemed to spend about 50% of my waking hours impersonating farmyard animals of some kind. But no, I didn't make the noises as I was solving the Strands puzzle…
