Took a Tylenol PM cause I couldn't go to sleep, so I feel sluggish now. Eggs, sausage, biscuit for bfast.
Good morning, grannyland.

I have been up early too. Temperature was pretty good this morning. But it is heating up now. I got the feeder finished, and the nest box. Once the paint dries, I can put them to use.

The potato bin is now a nest box to set on the ground( polish don't seem to like raised boxes. ) And the feeder is done.

Morning all. Thanks for the kind words yesterday. It was raw for a minute but then I was ok. Right before we tubed the second time I asked Sally if it was better to let him pass instead of keeping sticking him. She said to fight for him, so I did, even though he had already given up. He died warm with a full belly. Nothing much better.

The others are good. I got #1 to drink 2oz milk and he was dancing around looking for more, then ran straight to mom and nursed vigorously. #2 screamed while I dripped milk on his tongue, no sucking at all. He got 1/2oz. #3 was a mix, sucked a bit and also screamed while I dripped milk on her tongue. She got 1oz.

All have gained 4-5 ounces since birth. Gertrude is very attentive and wakes them up to eat, and makes sure each one does. One side of her udder is hard and seems sore when they butt her, not sure what the issue is. It’s not hot or red. The milk looks like the milk from the other side, not pink or yellow.
