This is from last night. Wyatt went out to check things, and this baby was in the water- again! So in she came. We wrapped her in a towel (we have some we keep for the animals that have their own washing line), then gave her a quick blow dry.
Unfortunately, her mama is a master of hiding! Wyatt, Bailey and I wandered around outside as it grew dark, finding the mamas had traded nesting spots last night. But the only mama we could not find was the mama which belonged to the little one who loves to go swimming. We spent time with flashlights as well, after dark, but finally realized the little one would be with us for the night. Baby really doesn't like to be in the house by itself!
Wyatt took little one out first thing this morning to find the mama with morning feeding. Here's to hoping he comes back successful! Otherwise, I will have to come up with a couple friends to go with it and more it in the house. On the flip side, there is some early comb development, looking like a Phoenix rooster. Hoping it is really a hen, though, and we are still calling is she! Wyatt says she is safe back with the mama now, after the mama originally was worried about Wyatt being so close. But then mama recognized the chirping, and Wyatt set the baby down to run back to her. Glad for the happy ending! I like those. Now maybe baby with stay out of the water this time!
