AM Homestead & Rabbitry

I’m excited to weigh this chonk at 6 weeks on Sunday. 💛

We were having a chat about how I need her to grow like her sisters so I can keep her. 😉

📸: 18 (she insists I tag her now when I post photos she takes. 🙄😂)

Michael and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary yesterday.

We left the homestead in the hands of 18 and spent the night away at a hotel, eating junk food in bed, and binge watching The Boroughs on Netflix. 💛

He’s still my favorite person to do nothing with. 🥰

I’m gonna be holding my breath for the next few weeks as I grow out this broken blue steel doe from Chai x Poppy. 🥰

Considering her sister, Cami (who has the same “mole” in the same spot 😭) is 8 # 10 at 6 months old, I think we’re gonna be good. 💛

3 weeks old today and she gets a grow out cage. 🥹💙

She’s the first broken doe that my heart has melted over. Usually it’s the broken bucks. 🙄😂

I’m pretty sure she’s broken blue steel and that’s okay. I will watch her body type for the next few months and make my final decision.

Her temperament reminds me of Sutton, who is her half sister.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mamas. 💛 💐

We hope you find time to rest today and do something you love.

Productive day today!

We broke this dispatch up since we have so many kits to harvest. 6 in the freezer today. We let the February kits hang out in the playpen while Michael pressure washed the grow out hutches.

Poppy’s April kits have found the hay and pellets. 😭💛

I cannot handle the cuteness of that little broken blue steel doe. 🥹 I have a cage waiting on her in 13 weeks, if she grows anything like her half-sister.

Minding my business, getting butchering materials set up and here comes this turd.

My turkey babies don’t play about their mama. 😉💛

Harvey is now in time out and is heading off our homestead next week. I don’t have room or need for a mean rooster in my flock. 🤷🏻‍♀️

*sigh* I love the age the April kits are right now. From 2-5 weeks is so much cuteness and fluff and ugh! 🥹💙

Just. Stop. It. 😭💙

Our last litters of the season are 16 days old and have started venturing out of their next boxes. This is my favorite age, before they start acting like teenagers. 😉😂

Chai took my request for blue and gave me blue steel, in broken and solid. 😂 He also threw in some GTS and broken GTS. 🙄

Poppy is doing fantastic with her litter of 10. My girl is a stellar mama! Lucy’s litter of 11 is down to 8. 😔

We have a harvest day this weekend. 😭 We had to break this one up into multiple days because there’s 23 grow outs going in the freezer.

Once that is done, the grow out will get a deep clean and be ready for the 18 kits we have in nest boxes. Then, a bit of a break until the end of August to build the does some hutches and deep clean cages. 💛
