When I woke up at 7:30 (I was able to get back to sleep) my headache was better. It's barely there, and I am sure once I get around my teens, it'll be back, but hey, it's gone for now, right?

Baby Chip (s/he is called that until we know what it is, boy or girl, because of the chipping away at the shell) is doing fine, it seems. I checked on it, and it was finally sleeping soundly. I think that it is missing it's mother, and siblings (that should have been there). I really don't know if we are going to get anymore or not. We have 10 hens (well, my husband says nine now, because he is sure one got eaten a few days ago) and we don't have the hen house up yet. I have one of those men who likes to buy the animals before we have a place to put them. I mean, it was sweet, he bought them for me. I am the one who wanted them. Anyway, they all decided that the best place for them to lay was in the old doghouse. It had hay on the bottom and it is nice, dark, and just the right temp (evidently). So I have this one hen who decided that she wants to sit on the eggs, called going Broody. But all the other hens kept going in and laying eggs in there and pushing them under her. So, at one time she had something like 35 eggs. Well, she finally pushed about 20 of them away from her, and I had to go through them and I am certain that most are undeveloped babies. My poor husband cracked one open one day. And I don't know if the ones under her will make it since some were pushed out for a day or two. Sheesh, I don't think farming is for me. I hurt too much to be dealing with this, ya know. But oh, the joy's of the animals!! It's hard on the kids when one dies, but the joys of it are great. I can wait until the goats get pg and have babies. That should start anytime now. Although, if I can't keep a baby chick safe, what am I going to do with the goats? Bring them in the house too??

Oh, sheesh!!!
