Farm happenings
We got a new calf this morning. She's about 5 days old. Lloyd said with the cold wet weather has just been too much for the babies so he brought her down here to stay warm and dry. He also used some old gates to construct two additional pens in the barn! Hallelujah ! It was a bit much with the three in one pen- Bethel and the first two babies. Plus feeding will be a lot easier now with them separated. Bethel tends to be a bossy hog with the hay when she's in with them. The sweetest thing to come from this is Tori, who has been out there with the new calf for an hour, sitting with it and petting it.
Darling girl!
We got a HUGE egg from one of the leghorns yesterday. It was so big it wouldn't fit in the carton! So I cracked it open to put in our meatloaf for dinner tonight and it was a double yoker! They've been laying steadily, about 3 eggs a day. The last brown hen hasn't begun laying yet, but we're keeping an eye out for her first brown egg
