I'm so unbelievably mad at myself!
I put the nest on the wrong cage. And I didn't notice until I wondered why another had hers "early".
Poor Widy. I'm so pissed. Looks like she tried to make a fur nest, all placenta in a neat pile in pan.

Darkie lost 2 kits, 1 Mia, other culled for failure.
Runt from Yynx litter is gone. Definitely will cull asap any future runts, not worth the false hope.
Using widy to feed one of Darkie kits that isn't getting enough milk. Hoping it can fatten up enough to punch out others for a teat in a week or so.
Swapped Goliath with Baymax cage. Hoping the change next to another buck, Jasper, gets him more serious about does.
And got the rest of the posed pics for that one kit that refused.

I was noticing on the posed images of your brokens that the broken markings seemed weirdly asymmetrical on one...and then I noticed that they all had the same asymmetry biased toward the left side. Either you have markings that sit with the centerline toward the left side of the rabbit, or something about your photography is happening at a subtle angle. If you use these pics to judge for symmetry, you may want to address that, because without the markings to highlight it, it isn't obvious on the solids.
At least it wasn't to me--but we all know I am not a show person, so I may be pointing out something everyone else already knows about! If so, sorry!

Wish there was some kind of washable, reusable fake hay, that they wouldn't eat!
Darkie ate everything, even the fur. They were huddled, fully exposed on the bottom left corner.
Dumped nest and rebuilt it with new hay and fur.
On the plus side, that kit getting extra feedings is now keeping up with the others.

I heard that there is artificial fur that you can put in their nest. The funny thing is that same person told me that a rabbit ate it ( Dont worry it was plant-based)

Have you tried straw? It's technically eatable but shouldn't be as palatable as hay. Shouldn't... doesn't mean the crazy thing won't eat it anyway...
together. 
Since lambing will start at the end of March, I had to clean up the barn! Also got the auto water setup and flowing. Left some bowls for drips and for ones that don't know what they are to hopefully be lured over to figure it out. Opened more of the walls to get more air, too. Still freezing nights, so not fully open yet.
Culls. Grow outs. Rivian. Water bin for Rivian & grow outs. Don't have excess tubes or nips to extend to the cull cage.
Already figuring out the nips!

Yesterday, grow outs escaped. Guess who didn't eat them? The GPs.
Got them back in, to their dismay.
And other grow outs moved in bc they keep destroying everything. Added a hung board to block hopper access.
Xoh didn't get bred. Culled her. Very fat. Trying to get new, better stock, so junk has to go! Hamlet also was culled.
Tipsy & Aqua got nests yesterday. Aqua pulled tons of fur! Tipsy pulled some. Hoping that means they'll be great first time moms.
And got 5 nests lined and hay filled for the next buns due for a nest on Thursday.
The Goliath ones probably didn't produce anything, didn't see any real falloff.

Proof that despite being fed rabbit, some dogs (unlike my nutjob) can differentiate between friends and food! What a good doggo!!
