High Today 51
Low last night was 28!!

More like January, but still hard to take.  Baby rabbits were born this morning to a new mom.  But she has them all covered up against the cold, so we haven’t been able to count them yet.    When rabbits give birth, they pull their own fur out from under their chin to make the nest.

The other livestock are fine. We finished putting up the meat birds last week – 33 out of the original 53! quite a heavy loss. We heard of another fast growing meat bird this week – White Heritage…supposedly ready in 6-7 weeks. The picture looks amazingly like our Cornish Cross. Have to investigate further, since there is supposed to be less loss than with Cornish.

Happy Homesteading,
T.
