Monday Update...

You asked for it...Here it is...
All 7 of Lovie's babies.  They were not thrilled with being taken out of their nest.
Here you can see the size difference between the smallest and the other bunnies.  So far little runt is holding his own though.  He is even smaller than Rosey's babies! 
2 white bunnies are starting to have their ears, tails and noses turn black and have pink eyes (like their daddy) and the 3rd white one has brown eyes and staying pure white.  2 are silvery grey like the mom one is pure grey and little runt is pure black.

And now for my chicken girls:
Egg production is doing great, actually got 6 eggs yesterday and as I opened the side door I saw Turdis actually lay her egg...Brady thought it was gross but I thought it was cool.  How can you not think it is interesting how this chicken's body is able to create the hard shell around her egg? 

After another 2 double yoke eggs I did some research and young chickens tend to have more double yoke eggs until their reproductive system settles into the process...interesting.  There are a couple breeds in India (I think it was) that the norm is to lay double yoke...FYI. 

I can hear a chicken having a fit in the coup, Birdis squawks so much in the morning but she hasn't layed any eggs.  When ever someone is laying an egg she is cackling not far away.  I think I will sneak out there and check for eggs...
