Stepmom

Posted on April 3, 2016April 2, 2016

OK.  I got it backwards.  I was supposed to take pics of the new chicks, NOT the calf.  I didn’t figure any of you would really argue with me when I took pics of the little cutie pie, but, hey, if you’re a chicken lover… sorry about this.

The little guy has been fed bottles… There was still no clue as far as his momma goes.  If he was a twin… he was a good sized twin… but, nevertheless, he needed a mom.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, we had another calf die.  It was a week old, seemingly healthy, and for some reason, it passed away.  That left a momma with no baby.

We did the Identity Theft procedure… and here he was this morning.

She looks a tad protective…

    As much as I love chickens, I’d never complain about pictures of that adorable calf! I particularly like the second and last pictures.
