The2MooresRanch: Meet the Rabbit's II and a Few of the Chickens!

Last week I introduced everyone to the rabbits. Well, I missed a few and miss named one of them. The one I said was Maxine is really Bella. Not really sure who her mom was or even her dad. She was one of the grow outs on the floor that had babies so she stayed around. She is a really good bunny and mommy.
Maxine is one of the rabbits that we put outside in the grow out yard. She is the one on the left of the black bunny. Pablo is the other white one out there. So in about a month we should be having a few litters of bunnies.

The newer grow out that we decided to keep is this black one. Her name is Midnight. She was one of the first rabbits we put out in the yard. She was also the one that dug the largest hole out there and is in the process of building a new den in the area we have them in right now. Will be interesting to see the colors of her babies. Mom was Hershey and Dad was Duke.Both of them are Chocolate Rex's.
Note: Midnight was one we could not catch when it was time to go to freezer camp. Figure if she was smart enough to evade that ,then she must have good genes. She is as wild as they get though.

Meet a few of the chickens. We have 3 Golden Laced Wyandotte's. 2 hens and a rooster. I have decided to call the hens Buttercup and Marigold and the rooster Sunny (Sunflower). Early next spring we are going to put them in a place all by themselves so that we can get a few more of this breed.

When we put a few of the hens in the chicken tractor last week . I picked some of the ones that had a lot of feathers missing on them. I knew that some of them had been being picked on. Yesterday I noticed that their feathers are growing back and they are getting pretty.

The cats are just being cats and the kittens are growing so fast. Smoky sleeps a lot during the day and has found that the best place to sleep during the day is the outside hen boxes. This is also where he goes to get away from the Guineas. They don't seem to like Smokey.

Betsey and Trampas are still being put up at night. They are starting to take off when it is time be put up and if we don't get them before dark it is hard to find them. They look ever so cute. But try to get them after. It is a game to them but no fun. You walk up to them reach down, and then they run.

We had the first fire of the season this past week. It was so nice and we sure did enjoy it. With the rain coming in that we are suppose to be getting there may be more this week. Kanga was not sure at first and then the next thing I know, she is up in front of it. She stayed there until the wood made a cracking sound.
