We're makin progress with Tootsie! This morning we took half a bottle of milk (1 quart) and she drank every drop in about 5 minutes with no fuss at all! I'm one proud mama!

It's been a pleasure reading your journal. Awesome animals.

Good Luck with Tootsie. Look forward to continuing reading about your little farm.

When we brought home our calves (only one survived) the vet had me give them a shot of Bo-Se to boost their immune systems and a shot of Vitamin B to boost their appetites. Just a thought.

 

[KDailey]

Vitamin e huh? She definitely doesn't have much of an appetite so I'll have to see about that.

Even though Tootsie is drinking the bottle she's not happy about it and most of the time she puts up a fight. But at least she's getting some and she's starting to fill out. She's still bony and I can still almost get my hand around her backbone but it's not as bad. I'd say we're makin progress.

I completely forgot to tell y'all I have 40 bantam Cochin eggs in the incubator that I bought from LuckyPickens over on BYC. She has gorgeous birds so I'm really excited to see what I get.

They're hatching today and so far we have 7/40 pipped! I'll be at work till 5:00 so hopefully when I get home I'll have lots of little babies

It looked like it might rain last night so Ryan built Tootsie her own "real" pen under the shed. We had moved some chickens out of the coop/run and into another pen so that tootsie could have the run but it wasn't covered.

As of last night right before bed we had 4 chicks hatched anybody wanna guess how many will have hatched when I get outta bed and go look?
