Thursday. I picked up the house and ran out to do some errands. I picked up some groceries and a couple of plants while I was out.

One of the old Boer does seems sluggish so I mixed up some molasses, corn oil and corn syrup for her and Dusty gave her a dose. We will also give her some Vitamin B to help stimulate her appetite and get her going again.

While feeding, we noticed that Puddin, one of the Nigerian babies was a little sluggish so we checked her out. She seems a little bit bloated so we will watch her. I may give her a bit of Kaopectate if she still has a tummy ache.

Donny found a box of chicks up in the barn loft. I had been hearing them when feeding so he went to check them out. The hen wouldn't let him get that close so I guess they will join the rest when they are able.

After feeding I began the typing for the night. Donny and Dusty worked on the well. I heard a siren and got to the window in time to see the ambulance coming up our road. Our neighbor had been shoeing a horse and was kicked in the face. Donny and Dusty were there and got the rest of his hay unloaded with friends while he went to the hospital.
