Sadly Calliope didn’t make it. She was doing so well and then Friday she started going downhill and we were not able to get her to bounce back. She died sometime early Monday morning. I think it was probably inevitable but everyone gets a fighting chance on this farm. We were hoping her condition was one she would outgrow but it wasn’t to be. She really made an impression on everyone who met her. She would stay at the feed store while we were at work and Jim said she had taken the place over. I’m just glad that she didn’t go while one of the kids were watching her.

RIP little fighter.
As sad as Monday was Tuesday brought new life on the farm. We had two hens show up with 10 baby chicks each. I know one was on a nest but I don’t know where the other one was nesting.
