Hatched 13 new guineas for a friend- another hen sits it out. The two old goats have been sent tom the circus. Some improvement in the sheep herd - only two lambs still not thriving and we are now trying isolation and controlled eating. Hope things improve quickly.

Several lambs improved and only two are taking daily individual treatment - Mini & #27. Six chicks hatched. Very hot so we work in the am and stay inside in the afternoon doing inside work and napping.

Restarted core workouts- sore butt good feeling. Have not figured out Minies problem (smallest lamb) and can not wee any change from our interventions. Frustrating and frustrated, fearful for her. Do not know what to do next to prevent further emascation and weakness. Other lambs are looking healthy and are growing vigorously. No significant rain in 4 weeks, we are hoping this summer will not repeat last summer's draught (no rain from June 20 til oct 15).
