February has been no better, kindling wise. One dead litter born in our new inside maternity ward and the rest are all misses. So we breed again and try for March.
Only 2 chicks out of our first incubater full, so it is filled and 'cooking' again. We candled them last night and removed any that weren't growing. The ones we took out were all the same size and color, so probably from the same hen- looks like she isn't getting along with the roosters!
Our Oberhasli doe, Tango, is looking bigger and her udder is starting to fill. Hopefully a baby goat at the end of March, although Rebecca is convinved it will be any day now!
Rabbit show season gets into full swing this month-March 6 a youth workshop and show in Lafayette, March 13/14 Noble County/Whitley County both in Columbia City, and March 20 in Nappanee. We have several Silver Fox juniors and some Holland Lops to sell. Hopefully we can find new homes for them so someone else can feed them!
