What do you do when you have a handsome otter buck and no non-tri does available to breed him to? You make a litter of unshowable kits who will hopefully help the tri/brindle lines type 🤷‍♀️

Seamus and Eevee's babies are growing well. Eevee's last litter with Rowan gave me the best growth rates we've had. I'm hoping that this cross gives us the same or better growth, balance, and fur.

5 fresh muscovy babies have joined us (1 is hiding behind the others). This is by far my favorite duck breed!

Breeder Poll! 🐇

You have two junior does from the same litter and can only keep one. They're a breed where type and fur are almost the same points in the Standard of Perfection. I know what I would do, but am curious as to others' thoughts!

Doe A:
✔️ Phenomenal body/type
✔️ Excellent depth, width, and overall balance
✔️ Fur has good texture
❌ Fur seriously lacks density and resistance (cotton balls anybody?)

Doe B:
✔️ Nice fur with good texture, density and resistance
❌ Type is only average, but still an improvement over the parents, but nowhere near her sister

Assume both are healthy, good-tempered, and otherwise comparable.

Which are you keeping and why?

👍 Doe A – Better type
❤️ Doe B – Better fur

It may have taken her all day, but Lava got it done. On morning check she had 9 squirming, healthy kits in her nest! Her first litter she gave us 3 (she lost 1 due to being dragged out of the nestbox overnight), and the second litter there were only 5 (no survivors, she had them outside of the nestbox). Here's to hoping we'll finally have himalayans to share with those who have asked!

Seamus x Eevee CHUNKY babies arrived today! 3 Castors and 4 black brindles!

Eevee needs some more depth and her peak pushed back. Seamus could have used faster growth and some more muscling. Both have great fur! I got some amazing rex fur from Eevee's last litter. I'm hoping we'll get some nice juniors for fall shows!

I was especially excited for this litter because it helps me learn more about what Seamus is hiding under that plush white coat.

Seamus is a REW buck out of a black buck and a black/orange brindle doe. Both of his parents carry dilute, so this breeding gave me the opportunity to test him for dilute, while also helping determine whether Eevee carries REW.

Based on the results, Eevee is almost certainly AABBCCddee, and Seamus appears to be AaB_ccDDEej.

The biggest takeaway is that I can rule out dilute in Seamus and REW in Eevee. Genetics is always a puzzle, and each litter gives another piece of the picture!

I also bred Seamus to Treasure, my chocolate tri doe, so that litter should tell me whether Seamus carries chocolate. Stay tuned—I'm excited to see what that breeding reveals next! 🐰🧬

Now to watch these babies grow and see what other surprises they have in store. 😊

Thayne showed a couple of our junior rex today to get opinions (and confirm our thoughts). Flare is turning out nicely, she got much better comments this show than a few weeks ago. She's still developing and her coat is coming in nicely. I can't wait to see her finished!

Nightingale has a horrible coat (thanks Rowan), but we wanted opinions on her type. The feedback was much more positive than expected. If she had a nice coat (maybe she's a late bloomer 🤞) she'd be competitive.

We already discussed breeding plans for these girls. Now its a waiting game for them to grow!
