The chick hatched in Rotorua at Rainbow Springs' Kiwi Encounter yesterday and has been named 'Seven' as a tribute to the All-Blacks seventh Rugby World Cup semi-final.
Seven is from Tongariro and weighed in at 365.6g.
The kiwi chick will be joined by another in the next couple of days, taking this hatching season's tally to 44.
The chick joins other recent arrivals with similiar themed names such as Retallick, Savier and Twickenham.
