I am sorry I have been sporadic and missing in action at times. Not going to lie, it will probably continue for a bit. I am dealing with some personal issues that does not pertain to Grandma and it is getting to me. Grandma is not helping either I might add.

Anyhoo back to the chickens. Corona ended up with 9 out of the 11 eggs hatching and they are a week old today. Here are a few pictures of them. She has 1 dark blue, 1 brown and 7 black chicks.

Raven and her crew. I know for sure the yellow chick she hatched out is a male no questions. Iffy on her other 2 natural hatched chicks. The speckled sussex's are still NOT speckled and are slow to sprout tails and feather out in general. Owly is still Owly and my snuggle buddy and favorite. Owly is also still hopefully a female.

A rabbit in peril...?

My friend has a doe (female rabbit) named Charity. She recently had a litter of eleven kits.

Now just what is the problem here?

You see the healthiest litters are of 3 or 4 kits. Now with eleven there will be always someone missing out on it. I received a call from my friend saying that hey, I have a rabbit that's dying of malnutrition, another two have already died of that kind of thing. I agreed to take the rabbit. He's sitting in a box next to me, wrapped in some spare rabbit fur and I'm feeding him rabbit formula (goatmilk + whipping cream) and he seems to be perking up.

phew. But if any of you know what else to do to help this young kit, please pipe up.
