So I started out the day going to a swap meet / flea market / auction...

Bought a jersey calf for $20, a jersey x for $50, 2 East India Ducks, 3 Bobwhite Quail, 1 Frizzle chick and 1 Easter Egger chick. All in all the total under $100. Great deal!

Problem?? We had the CAR! A Honda Accord! Well...we put those calves in the backseat...birds went into boxes in the trunk and away we went...40 minutes toward home.

Came home and bottle fed the calves (never done that before)...gonna have to ask some questions later and post some pics.

2 of my chickens found a hole in the fence and were on the wrong side...inches away from a bird hating dog! Had to rescue them.

Had to set up temporary housing for the new birds.

Then decided to go visit my grandpa who was in the hospital for a heart cath. Visit was good. We got about 5 minutes from the hospital and got an urgent call to come back. Grandpa was gone...

How does a day start on such a high and end on such a low? :hit
