I put the baby in a cardboard box with a black light bulb above it to keep it warm. Don't want Momma to accidentally step on it in it's condition. If it's able to detach from the egg sac and draw it's body part into it's belly? Then it will survive! If not?

I'm praying hard for this little one. It's been thru so much to make it this far. And this is Strawberry's only baby at this time. She's a first time Momma and I so want this baby to survive for her.

Sadly the baby didn't make it! Jethro is going to try and get Strawberry a baby tomorrow from the feed store. The baby would have been beautiful. It was black with white feathers flowing from the top of it's head down the back of it's neck.

Minnie surprised us today by giving us her first egg!

I'm beat! I've been up since 3:00 PM yesterday trying to save the baby. Jethro buried it in the chicken cemetery!
