Be Ye Separate

   This one isn't doing well at all and we aren't sure it will make it. As a matter of fact I don't know why it's still alive! It looks like the egg was opened prematurely. Perhaps Delta broke it open and tried to help? Ducks will help their babies by helping to finish opening the egg for them. Since she doesn't know the difference between her eggs and the chickens eggs, it's possible she was being helpful when this one was just beginning.

   This was at around 3pm. It's 11pm now and it's still not standing, eyes aren't open but...it has started scooting itself around the box, cheeping more often and loudly and when we hold it's head to the water it drinks. Only God is keeping this little one alive. I'm not sure what we are supposed to learn with this little trial but we prayed tonight and thanked Him for blessing us with this lesson:)

   We expect that it won't make it through the night but then we didn't think it would live THIS long so whatever the Lords will is in this we are ready to welcome it:)

   Okay, I'm being called to help out with Mary-Ann...oh, did I say that she broke her hand? But that's another post:P She's fine, but she needs help getting her pj's buttoned:)

God be with thee!
