I pulled the babies out today from the Treasure and Volt litter. My wishful thinking of "maybe they're just really dark chocolate" was crushed. Every one of them is definitely black based. There is one that could be red or just a really bad tri, its hard to tell. Volt definitely carries non extension, and Treasure could also.

I was hoping for better distribution feom Treasure though that wasn't the main goal of the breeding. We did get a few nicely patterend kits and hopefully they're the keepers.

I love rainbow litters and was really hopeful this would be one of them. What I've learned from this pairing so far:

*My rabbit will infact birth babies days apart.
*Volt is a bad blue brindle and NOT lilac contrary to popular belief.
*Volt does not even carry chocolate!
*Treasure did not win the dilute genetics lottery and does not carry dilute.
*Maybe Treasure carries non-extension?

The breeding that has me scratching my head…

I bred Treasure × Volt, and Treasure was due Wednesday. Monday night I gave her a nest box, and she looked HUGE, so I was fully expecting a good-sized litter.

A few hours later… ONE single chocolate tri kit. 😂

I could not believe that giant belly had produced ONE baby, but okay. Apparently Treasure had other plans.

Fast forward to this morning…

THERE ARE 9 MORE KITS. TEN TOTAL.

And now the genetics are making this even more interesting. Treasure is a chocolate tri, and we've all been calling Volt a lilac brindle (including judges). Except some of these babies are either the darkest chocolates I've ever seen in my life… or they're black-based.

There is ZERO possibility that another buck bred her.

So, Volt… sir… are you actually BLUE?!

Apparently Treasure decided one baby was just the preview and dropped the rest of the season overnight.

Rabbit genetics: keeping me humble since forever.

So much for a litter of chocolate and lilac tri😂

Remember my morning coffee crow buddy?

Well...I think our friendship just leveled up.
Every morning I leave him a little something, and today I found this jawbone sitting in the exact spot where I leave his treats.

Maybe it's just a coincidence or maybe this was his way of saying, "Thanks."

Crows are known for recognizing people they trust and sometimes leaving little gifts in return. Whether that's what happened here or not, it made me smile.

I guess I'm officially the neighborhood snack lady, and he's officially my weird little best friend. 🖤

Now I'm curious what tomorrow's surprise will be.

Merida gave us 10 Tortellini babies, 6 black selfs and 4 broken blacks. This is an experimental litter to get us back into the velveteen lops. Our last group struggled constantly with health issues (that non of the other breeds sharing their space had). Hopefully we can not only get decent type in the future generations, but also hardiness!

There's something peaceful about a rabbit in the tall grass.

Gina, our junior Satin Angora doe from Bad Hare Homestead, was perfectly content sitting in the evening breeze while I snapped a few photos. Moments like these are one of my favorite parts of raising rabbits. 💕🐇

Lark gave us 5 chunky babies last night during bedtime chores. I really didn't want to breed any of my tri/brindle lines to anything else this year, but our new black otter boy, Peter, just complimented her type so well I had to do it at least once. Looks like 3 castors, a self black and a self blue in this litter and they're all a great size! Hopefully they'll carry the tri gene (ej)!

And mom is obviously working slow today adding more hay to the nest one strand at a time 😅

People think I'm crazy when I tell them I've made friends with the local crows.

Every morning, this beautiful crow flies in and sits just a few feet from me while I do my morning chores. We've built trust over time, and now it's become part of our daily routine.

Besides being incredible to watch, crows are one of the smartest birds in the world. They're excellent lookouts and are known to sound the alarm when they spot hawks, eagles, foxes, coyotes, and other predators.

Around a homestead, having a few crow friends can be surprisingly helpful for keeping an eye on the poultry. I've watched these crows chase Hawks off of the property and away from the chickens.

No, they aren't pets, and I don't expect them to do my job for me, but I love the idea of working with nature instead of against it.
Watching their personalities, intelligence, and curiosity has made me appreciate them even more. I have a feeling this friendship is just getting started.

Has anyone else managed to earn the trust of their local crows? I'd love to hear your stories!

These little Californians have reached one of my favorite milestones! 🐇💕

As soon as they open their eyes, I like to sprinkle a little grain into the nest box. They start nibbling while they're still nursing, which helps them transition to solid food when it's time to wean.

Safe to say they approve!

Everyone meet Delta! 🐷💛

Today we welcomed the newest member of our farm family, Delta!

Thayne picked out her name, and we think it fits her perfectly. She's a Kunekune/Idaho Pasture Pig (IPP) cross, and we're so excited to watch her grow.

After making the difficult decision to move all of our pigs except Lorenzo since everyone else was related, we're excited to start this next chapter with Delta. A huge thank you SunStone Orchard & Rabbitry for raising such a sweet little girl!

She's already settling in, learning that fences can bite ⚡ (she needs to be a very good piggy citizen!), and soaking up all the belly rubs she can get. We have a feeling she's going to be just a little bit spoiled. 💕

Welcome home, Delta! We can't wait to watch you grow.
