Well, moving the hen and her chicks and giving them food and water worked. Two more chicks hatched yesterday and one hatched today. There are 3 eggs left. The Mama sits on them while her babies use her to play peek-a-boo. It is the funniest thing to see them pop in and out all around and under her. She is constantly shifting. She is such a good mamma. Every so often, she gets up and the chicks follow her around scratching at the ground. They are adorable-there's 6 total now. This morning we had more excitement. Our mamma cow had her calf! The kids went down to feed the animals and found that the calf had been born-it's a girl. Here it is:
It's father is half angus, half hereford and the mom is hereford. Here, the calf gave me a bit of a scare. Her mom went to the pond, she followed behind, but got confused and followed her big brother to the pond after the mom had already turned around. She started to step down over the bank into the pond. Her mom quickly got over there b/w her and the pond and was calling to her. Then the calf walked away with her mother. Isn't that so neat? This cow is also a very good mother. This is her second baby. The steer in the pic is her first baby:
Other than that, we did our schooling, Hannah had piano lessons, I made a pan of lasangna and I planted a whole lot of raspberry bushes. We got them for free from my MIL's patch. I found a guitar teacher for Jonah-we have a meeting with him tomorrow to see if he thinks Jonah is ready. I hope so-he comes highly recommended and is a Christian Homeschool dad. I think Jonah is ready-he's been asking for lessons for 2 yrs and is 9 now. Hannah's piano teacher asked me if she can become her page turner at concerts since she does really well following along reading the music. She goes to a concert tomorrow to see what it's like, but someone else will turn pages this time. She's excited about it. I think that's it! |
