So Busy !! ( Long Post)

Life has been so busy that I have not had a chance to post in quite a while. The rabbits are all doing wonderful. Here is Spotted Momma and her 8 babies. This is a litter by Sir Poops A Lot , these babies are 4 1/2 weeks old. I am super happy with this litter as she has never had this many brokens in any of her other litters. I will be reserving a nice broken blanket chestnut male from this litter, I will get some pictures of just him posted in the next week or so.

Fern also had a very nice litter by Sir Poops A Lot. These guys are just a few days younger than the above litter. She had 2 Harlequins that are lightly marked, 2 blacks and 8 chestnuts. I can always count on Sir Poops A Lots to throw some odd kits, He always throws Harlequin or black tort kits.

However it looks like he has yet thrown another surprise at me. This is a litter from Silver that was sired by him. These babies are only 4 days old. It will be a few days before I can tell if these kits are fawn or chocolate tort.I am really hoping that they are chocolate torts !! Either way if they are female I will pick the best one of the two to keep.

Two New Does & Some Progress

This doe is 5 months old and is a American Chinchilla. Yesterday at the Athens Family Fun Day I met a breeder a couple of towns over who has a small heard of American Chinchilla's and I was lucky enough to purchase these two doe's.

This is 1/2 sister to the above doe, she is mixed with a California, I just love that she is broken. The man I purchased them from will have a purebred buck for me in about 2 or 3 months. I am hoping that these two does will be a great addition to my meat rabbit program.

I was so proud of my youngest boy yesterday. He marched in the Athens Parade with his Sea Cadet batallion. He looks so grown up in his uniform.

"Bump" is the boy on the very end. He wants to grow up to join the army like his uncle , Bump's older brother who is 15 has plans to sign up with the Air Force when he turns 17. Bump just recently returned from a trip to New Hampshire where he spent 4 days eating and sleeping with the Blue Angel's. He just loved that trip and came home with autographs and so many stories.

The chicken coop is coming right along, I was able to get the top put on the nest box area and frames in the door. I was also able to start on the roof. It still has a ways to go but it is getting there. When the sun goes down a bit I will continue to work on it :)
