Cleared out the barn for all of the critters to use if need be. Back section is also open, just divided. Rear half of original barn is closed off, though. As I don't want the dogs meandering off.
Keeping both, as Navy is gone. One for the Rex line, other for the SF line.
Sky is still nice, hasn't had a kit better than herself. Her buck is nearly her weight....he's a fatty....a day shy of 19wks, 4.75 months!
Hops buck n doe.
doe looks better, heavier by almost half a pound. I think...
Cassy × Mallow kits. First pic are posted culls until Sunday, then dog food, since I have to cull early these days.
Tappy × Cast & Rew
These two are culls, but the charlie looked nice in the cage. Decided to pose them and...
Nice
Dang! Bit forward, but if he keeps this depth, his size will...
Tail lengths.
Blue is Navy, a 2+ year old. 3.5"
A year between them.
Black is Coal, the 11mo old. 4.5"
I've posted a skinned pic of a super long tail in the past.
The fast Rex. Tippy × Rew
Not pretty, but much larger than the others. I do wonder if it's internal fat, though. So, didn't cull...
Well, guys, don't cull while sick. Culled the wrong kit. 😅
Anyway, pics before culling 4-5 of them out.
I'm liking the broken blue.
The Steely × Mallow kits are huge compared to Hops × Drizzle! Didn't think to pick up a Hops kit, but it's a good bit of a size jump.
I wonder how well these...
Okay, the day has come!
I'm sick, but feeling better than yesterday, so, time to get things done!
Culling, skinning, posing, weighing, posting & culling young ones. In 32F weather. My poor toes and fingers.
Coal was culled out.
Raven, eh, idk. She made a nest in her cage, no fur, she feels and...
I forgot to post this.
Clip failed. Tippy kit found it's way into Berry's cage.
She was so cool with it...
Got a real spring lock for it now. It's happened 2× before. Ugh
Found a quick grower in Tippy's litter. A boring black, haven't posed her yet, but her growth makes her a keeper.
Perfect in Rex, exceeds the SF chart and is right on time in meat mutt chart.
Going to have some cash soon. 48 bags loaded up. Eight bags of meat chosen to be packed day of. And one rabbit to butcher tomorrow, to be packed day of as well.
Then, I need to find a tool to remove feet off the frozen rabbits, to hopefully sell as raw or as dehydrated. As I need to make space...
Yep, that failure died.
Rest seem fed.
I have to keep up with tons of new hay in that second nest or she'll squash them. Not on purpose, she sits on the upper half off them, but kits crawl to her and get squished.
Three does got nests.
Coral is building hers. I think she might go into...
