The others.
Honkin' potatoes! Almost couldn't get them in the frame.
Sister to a choc, had kept back 2 blk & 1 choc, this black won of the 2 blk.
He was bracing so hard! Will have to work with him awhile to get a decent pic...
Yeah, these two older Rex are culls. But bred them together & waiting to see what she has.
So, weird buck, the older Rex buck & doe, after/if she kindles, are going to FC.

This turd...looking better today. Not enough to save em, though.
Well, she lost 8 kits. Probably because today was shearing day and all sheep were moved into the barn last night. She ignored the nest and piled fur in back corner instead. Near freezing temps over night, so no luck saving them.
Rebred and trying again. Will cull if she fails next time, though.
The other kits.

Weird castor was starting problems, so he was moved into cull cage. The choc mutt & the rex doe were moved into a cage. And the rex buck got a cage.
Blu & Onyx kits are moving to grow out pen next week.

Moved 14s kits out. Being all black, they'll blend with the others soon. So, kept them separate instead.
Onyx and 4 biggest kits still with her.
6 smallest Onyx kits moved out for dogfood. Now 3 left.
Amber's kits. Much better shapes with the new sire! But what about speed of growth? I'll have to check. Still with mom, 7wks. Some obvious culls, but many to watch.
