Filling up fast, 17 bags now ready. Gotta haul them 1,500ft to the driveway...🫠



Got six used 44gal bins. Old bin full fit in, plus a new bag of feed and 1/4 of another old bin. Holds a lot!!
Holds 5 unopened bags, too!

Coral kits. 6wk 1day.
Not great weights, but kinda liking shapes. Vapor has Rex in him 4 gens back, and steel.
I think G failed, not seeing his narrow shoulders in the rex furred ones. I don't think he has steel in him. Not seeing any sped up growth yet, but it seems that doesn't get passed down in every litter, as Quincy kits aren't huge yet either.

Quincy kits. 7wk 5days.
Are they small? I'll have to check.
Kept 2 previous kits, so don't need to keep any.

Malty kits. 9wk 3days.
Two biggest, one will not pose, the other won't stay put. Smallest, white ears, good side, but wouldn't stay. Ugh, seems like an easy litter to choose from, but no. Lol. Do I want a near 6# at 9wk doe with an unknown shape or do I find a medium of both...

Last two Tealy kits. Don't like the black, so he's out in cull cage. 9wk 5days, almost 10wks and blue is getting close to 5#. Maybe I'll keep him for now.

The last 3 Cruella kits. 🤔 black is largest, but a blob shape.
Broken doe is nice and 2nd in size.
Rew is smallest, but good shape. Hmm. They're 10wks, so it's decent sizing, shape is hard to do, too. Ugh. I don't think I should keep an ugly, but big buck. Will redo the pair and hope for a big, nice doe. Probably hold onto doe and rew for now....

Gilt kits. Ugh, tiny. Do I bother? Probably not. Gotta breed to someone else and hope for better.

*phew*
20 bags moved to driveway!
10 more needed for the buyer.
More rain on the way, was just hardly able to get them all moved.
Culling litters, two out of nests, 2 soon to be out, new litters to be born soon. Poo amounts have dropped, but will pickup soon, hopefully. 2 adults leaving soon, too. So it'll drop a lot for a couple of weeks, which is about 6 bags worth.
Claims he wants meat, so we'll see how that goes. Hoping to keep growing them out to at least 6# or until I have 30 poo bags.
