Cieste is still out of condition and unable to feed Poppet. I have been bottle feeding her in the barn where she and mother have been penned but now (on Farmer Rob’s advice) I have taken her away from mother and put her with her sister, Sweetie Pie. They are in a pen outside the back door with a large poultry house for night time housing. I can bottle feed them there and also give them a bucket and teach them how to suck from the rubber teats. They are company for each other – but mother is grieving and I can hear her calling to Poppet from across the paddock. It is heartbreaking but necessary.
