Lots of babies and long overdue update

Just a quick update here:

Quadra's babies are 6 weeks old now. They are adorable little guys. The buck is available and he is very promising (he's the one in the first picture). I am planning on keeping the doe at the moment (the second two pictures).

What a deep little doe!

Abby's babies are 4 weeks old now and so, so, adorable! She has two chocolate chinchilla does and a 1 broken chinchilla buck.

This little doe below is the one I want to keep from Abby's litter :). She's got a monster of a head right now, so we'll see how her body looks in a couple weeks.

 

Ginger's litter of 6 is almost 2 weeks old. She has 3 opals and 2 chestnut agoutis.

Kahlua's litter of 7 are almost 2 weeks old. She has 4 opals and 3 chestnut agoutis.

Rum's litter of 7 CHOCOLATES are almost 2 weeks old. They are so adorable. It's nice to have a whole litter of chocolate colors.

Even self chocolates...finally :)!

Krissie is due today with Escalade's first litter. Kibbles and Kate has been bred to Escalade as well. Lam has been a little slow lately, but I'm hoping to get some does bred to him soon.

New Arrival!

Thanks to Jennifer Townsend, Smokey's Kibbles, now lives here at our barn! I'm sorry to see Jen have to sell out of Mini Lops for the time being, but I'm thrilled to have Kibbles here. Kibbles is out of Hoppin's Britney, who was a beautiful doe I had sold to Erik from Smokey's Bunny Barn in WA last year. I never got to keep anything out of Britney before she left, so I'm glad to have Kibbles here.

I'll be breeding Kibbles to Lam soon hopefully and should have a full litter of lilacs!! They should be some nice, beautifully colored babies.

And just for fun, a picture of one of the outside kittens :).

Rainy Days & Baby Buns

We've had a rainy few days lately, which has been really nice...we needed rain!

The ducks all have had fun playing in the rain and the puddles it's created. They sure are funny to watch!

Quadra's babies are now 3 weeks old and doing great. They are ADORABLE, fat little squishy munchkins! She has 1 buck and 1 doe. Aren't smoke pearls beautiful?!

I have an on-going saga with my red buck, William. He is S-L-O-W-L-Y maturing, but he is SO tiny. He's just 4.4 lbs at 8 months old and has absolutely no interest in breeding, which is very discouraging. Here is he next to my 3 1/2 month old junior, Goldie. She's just an average size ML junior...he is just a .... shrimp, LOL!

I also have some really sad news. I had to put down one of my red does, Sunrise. She was the nicer as far as body type goes of the two does. So, that is a bummer. She went off feed the end of last week and suddenly came down with wry neck. I started treating her as soon as I noticed her head tilt and I had to put her down less than 48 hours later. It progressed so fast, she was rolling within 1 1/2 days. It was by far the most aggressive wry neck I have ever seen. Very sad :(.

On a better note, here are a couple's a couple recent pictures of my other red doe, Vixie. She is maturing nicely and finally starting to fill in some! Hopefully we'll have red babies soon.....

Been awhile...

It's been quite awhile since I've posted much on here. I've been blogging regularly over here and this has been put on the back burner.

The website has been updated. New litters have been born. Their info is up on the site. Abilene's babies have also had new pictures put up (individual pictures at 3 weeks old), which you can see here.

One of the newest developments in the barn...Shelby a new little  kitten. She has the coolest eyes - one is blue and one is blue-green! What a sweet kitten she is :).

Lily is one of my youngest juniors. She was born the middle of August from Rum (X Scotch). Very wide, smooth girl.

Goldie (full name of Golden Cadillac) is another one of my young juniors. She's a beauty out of Lam!

Abrielle is one of my older juniors. She's such a pretty girl!

Here's just a couple pictures of Abilene's babies. They are all SO adorable!

Here's a color comparison between a chocolate chinchilla (left) and a silver tip'd chocolate steel (right)

Quadra's two babies. Both beautiful smoke pearls!

The newest litter is a litter of 3 (4 were born, 1 was DOA) out of Abby. This is Scotch's last litter here, as of right now :(.

One of her two solid chocolate chinchillas.

And her little broken black chinchilla.

A hilarious picture of the kitties playing together!!

Just Pictures

I am well over due for a blog post. Things have just been too crazy and busy this week to think about doing any blog posts on here. Between family stuff, ranch chores, Grandma being in from out of town, website work, buddy walk stuff, and blogging every day for the month of October on my other blog, it's been crazy.

So, this is just going to be narrated pictures :).

The new barn kitten, Shelby. She's such a cutie and so sweet.

Abilene's babies...which officially are: 1 brkn chocolate chinchilla, 1 brkn silver tip'd chocolate steel, 1 solid silver tip'd chocolate steel, 1 brkn black, and 1 black chinchilla.

Quadra is due tomorrow (the 16th):
