Sundragon Farms. The saga continues.

This rabbit continues to surprise me. She was acting a little odd and spending a lot of time int eh box last night after I removed the passed kit, so I left the box in for her figuring maybe she wasn't quite done yet. We have a ND that has delivered kits over a 24 hour period once before, so I know it's a possibility. Sure enough, she had another kit this morning and was in the box caring for it.

Just goes to show you can't always predict how they're going to behave. Also checked on the other momma today. All 4 babies are doing well so far. 3 brokens and that dark one that looks otter or possible black VM. Time will tell, they're more wrinkles than fur at this point.

Here's the Vienna Marked litter. 3 definite Vm (1 blue 3 orange). The broken, I'm not sure about but likely a vienna carrier if nothing else.

This little blue is a pudge!

These VM hollands are going to be super cute.

Are there ears on that blue or is it a lamancha type?

I am shaking my head at you @Bruce ! Lol

Hahahahahahaha! Van Gogh.

But seriously, it's got ears, they're just pasted back against it's head. I'm so bummed, this one would make an incredible show rabbit, but no pedigree.

Went and pulled all the eggs from the broodys last night. 5 girls fighting over 3 boxes where everyone was laying. 42 of the 70 showed some kind of development, so they went into the 'bator. Someone kept killing chicks as soon as they hatched, so it was time to intervene.

Looks like there will be a lot of cheeping at your place soon. Sorry to hear about the chick killer.

Do you not have an issue with the “dirty” eggs? My first two bator batches grew until about day 16 and died. Was told probably a bacteria in my styrofoam bator...going to set some from my roo in the next few days. He attempted to attack me over the weekend and won’t take a chance with the kids. He’s going to rooster heaven by the end of the week. Just curious if I’ll have any success.

I am going to bleach my bator today and let it dry thoroughly. Gold listerine was recommended to spray the bator and eggs to disinfect. Let dry thoroughly. Dry hatch was also recommended.

Just looking for some recommendations.

This is our first batch in the bator, so I don't know. i didn't want to wash them first because I wasn't sure if the temp would fluctuate too quickly and upset the balance.
