and then Frank and I took Harry and Belle and went down and got some more. Frank got his flats which Emery cut out for him for making bee hive supers. This after noon we took the little chickens out of the incubator and put them up in the loft under the four hens, two of which acted as if they would be very good mothers and two were cross but we covered the latter up with horse blankets and are hoping they will be all right in the morning. We only got 60 chicks out of the incubator which was pretty poor but the hens only hatched four. We put the unhatched eggs from the hens in the incubator. After we got them tended to I took a walk down to Dicky Stevens orchard. Young Awde and Ferris were fishing on the point and had three little horned ace and the ice isn't out of the pond at all below Goosey. It has been a bright sunny day a little windy.
