New Babies

A lot has been going on over the summer.  We have bred for juniors for our livestock show and the babies are just now being born.  Skye had four kits (1 blue, 1 broken black, 1 broken blue, and a lilac) last week with 2 surviving. The lilac and broken blue have survived. Zebra just had her babies today.  We were hoping for 4, but were shocked to get 6!  All look to be healthy and nice size.  She has 2 black, 1 blue, 2 broken black, & 1 broken blue. Our last litter due is from Bell.  She is due September 3.  She is very moody right now.  Waiting for her to have her babies so she will go back to her sweet self.

Bell's Babies

Bell's babies are now 11 days old.  They are doing great.  All of them have their eyes open.  They were a little easier to pose than the chocolates.  It has been confirmed that the broken on the left is a lilac polish.  The lilac are not showable yet, but are under development. They are up for their second showing this November. If they pass, they only have one more showing to go and if they pass the third showing they are allowed to be shown.

Chocolates

The chocolates are now 9 days old and starting to open their eyes. Trying to get them all to pose for a picture is not easy to do.
 

Babies

Here is a picture of some of the babies.  I have put one of the chocolates in with 3 of the blues so you can see the difference between the colors. The colors are from left to right: broken blue, broken lilac, chocolate, and blue. The blues are 2 days older than the chocolates.

Bell's Babies

Bell's babies are all doing great! We are expecting them to open their eyes at the end of this week.  We have been told that one of the brokens is actually a broken lilac.  I love the pattern on this one the best, but the major problem is that the lilacs are not allowed to be shown yet. Hopefully they will pass their second round at the national convention in November.  They have to pass three rounds to be accepted by ARBA and are then showable.

Chocolate Babies

Cami delivered right on schedule.  Tuesday morning she had 6 chocolate babies.  As of today, May 26, they are 6 days old and all healthy.  Here is a picture from a few days ago.

Cami

We are hoping Cami has babies today or tomorrow. She looks like she is ready to pop.  Wondering how
may she will have. Bell did not look this big and she had 4 healthy size kits.
