Boon is doing well. He's getting fluffy! Must be the lionhead genetics coming through. Tonight I caught him drinking water from the bowl. He's 24 days old today, and looking healthy and beautiful. I did not gender check, but we continue to refer to Boon as a male.
Tonight the chicken coop litter is down to seven kits. Momma bunny knocked the nest tote completely upside down, then attempted to bury it in bedding. The lid got knocked off in the process, so the kits were buried in the bedding with the tote falling off to the side. I have no idea where the eighth kit went, but I have my guesses that a chicken got it. I put the tote upright again, added more bedding (clearly momma wants them well hidden), and then moved it to another spot in the coop where it's pushed up against something on three sides in the hope that she won't tip it over again. One of the remaining kits is starting to turn from pink to a tannish color. I suspect these are the broken black doe's kits and that the father could be Thatcher, who came from the same place. I could be wrong. I will have to wait and see how they turn out. Boon is doing well. He's getting fluffy! Must be the lionhead genetics coming through.

Another day, another egg. This is Turducken's fifth egg and the seventh egg we've gotten from the chickens since their arrival 10/1. That averages out to 1/4 egg per day overall.
