Livestock...



Here are the first 2 rabbits.  Buck the male and Rosey the female.  No babies yet.  I hope to add another male and hopefully 3 more females in time.  We are going to play it by ear to see how many breeders we need to have enough meat on the table.  My hopes are to have rabbit at least one night a week and have an additional rabbit stew one night a month.  Not sure how easy this is going to be though...

 
Here are the surviving 10 baby chicks.  We lost 2 the first night but all the others are stong and doing well.  The boys named most of them so we are talking about Sweety, Red Velvet, Blackie and Flamingo to name a few.  We have a variety and are to get some additional types this weekend.  Keeping fingers crossed that they are all females!  Hoping we are lucky enough to end up with only one rooster but with our luck I am sure that won't be the case.
