It's the Farm Life for Me....

please meet Callie ~
she is the smallest of our last-hatched brood...
she's maybe 1/2 the size of her brothers and sisters but a little fighter.

last night it was so cold, Callie got chilled...
and a chilled chickne, baby or not, is not a good chicken.

So, Peter brought her into the house this morning
& she will stay in here for a couple of weeks ~
in the meantime, she is feeling much better
...now that she's warmed up by the woodstove

she's eating warmed food and water,
and crushed layer mash...
oh
and every speck of dust and dead (or what we think is dead) stinkbug & ladybug
that seem to be in every nook and cranny of this old house.

she'll be living in the cat carrier,
next to the woodstove in the den...
which we've filled with fresh hay and lots of love.

I'm pretty sure she's happy now ~
I know we are,
...having her here with us
and being able to care for her
when she needed us ~

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!!

Blessings from the farm,
~ Lori ~
