6 nuggets born, 4 made it. Although mom pulled a ton of fur, she was also a little obsessive and dug all of straw and shavings out 🙄 None the less I have a birthday litter!

My truck is finally in the shop to have the transmission and transfer case rebuilt so I could not attend yesterday's local show in Castle Rock (I miss my local folks) or even better the TRBA Fall Show and Southwest Regional Champagne Specialty Club show just 10 hours away in Killeen, TX (I miss competition). I did however find some fantastic House of Loyd's porcelain Christmas rabbits to add to my collection. I found them at a local thrift shop at an incredible deal. 6 does due today. Morning feed and first time mom TF13 had 8 kits on the wire and 2 in the box with no fur pulled. So this morning's warming was unsuccessful at Resurrection. It's always important to look for blood pool in the nails which can be hard to see in a black rabbit. But also never assume they are dead until they are warm and unresponsive.

We did have a third litter the other night. Two of these are not the same! I am personally a breed hard, cull harder kind of gal. But it is a well known fact that many top breeders and respected judges have and will cross breed to achieve certain goals in their herds. A great example of why line breeding is important.

Another litter of 6 was born just before pm feed last night. I think litter 3 will be here tonight. Lots to be thankful for.

Everyone came out of the bunny barn today. I don't say that to often anymore. Had to have a troublesome tree removed that hung over the barn. Before and after and the awesome crazy arborist monkey doing his thing.
