So I kind of started this in my intro thread. Here's that link

Picking up from that initial post, Here's where will continue the saga of life as an urban farmer in the 21st century. I have no doubt whatsoever that this journal will go completely sideways on a regular basis, because that's kinda how we live our life.Be prepared for anything, I'll try and keep it herd related, but I'm a semi-pro photographer and my muse is the 5 year old kid in my head who's constantly begging me to take pics of everything, so I'm positive that'll leak through.
For today though, some updates on rabbits. We had a litter of Holland Lops on the 20th, 8 total, one still, and one runt that passed overnight last night. So 6 there that are all looking like they're either going to end up broken tort of some variety, or black tort. Then another of our does delivered last night on day 31, 6 healthy babies. No pics of those yet, probably later. Add those 12 to the 3 Netherland Dwarf 10-day olds, and it's a busy time at the urban farm.
Some pics:
This first one is of my Blue American Bresse roo "Cluck Norris". He earned his name helping fight off a coyote to broke into the yard and managed to whack 7 of my laying hens just before Thanksgiving. Bonus pain in the butt Aussie Shepherd in the BG. She's great with all the animals, she's just an annoying dog in general.
HL litter from 12/20. Sadly the wrinkly one on the far right is no longer with us.
10 Day old ND's. One REW, one Chestnut, one we're not quite sure on yet. Initially we thought broken orange, but her eyes are black, so maybe broken tricolor? Also sex is indeterminate still, so I'm using "she".
