hmm.
Looks like the reg fur choc doe is Choco×Lilacotter. But one of the blacks had rex type fur, and 2 kits were fostered to Blackie. So, that one is Choco's.
The reg fur black ones are Blackie kits. Buck is heaviest, but already kept so many, going to go with shape to decide instead & cull 2 of them.

I've heard that you should practice on bananas
I think 1 is missing. × is culled or about to be. A lot (11!) are sired by 3-5, so he's being culled.
Then need names of the Blu & Amber older kits I'll keep.

Black one had her kits. Didn't use the nest, but tried to make a nest in the corner. Pulled a tiny bit if fur.
4 lost, 6 live.
And 11, so grumpy.
Blanket kits are doing well, no pics to not bother mom.
The water cups drained completely, again! Happened a few days ago, too. One kept over filling, so I moved the tube to a nipple instead. So annoying!

Got the 6th leg on & the support wire trimmed on the other!
Having to take a trip to Poland next year. Which means I'll have to cull out a lot of rabbits & have DH take care of the farm. Poop pans would be too much trouble, but now, I'll have about 16 holes directly over dirt, so he won't have to do anything except feed/water. See? The crazy has a purpose! Lol. I'll have to make sure to not have any expecting does & no kits in nests.
There'll be so much work for him. Indoor dog n cat have automatic feed, dog has pet door, cat has autotoilet, so, no problem there.
3 outside dogs to feed separately. Chickens to feed n water, collect eggs. They'll stay locked up during the week, as that'll be safest. Horses to keep an eye on n potentially put out hay for. They'll have a huge track, so shouldn't need anything extra. I'll have to open up a few pastures together to let the cattle use them n keep an eye on water. And the same for the sheep, as he cannot rotate them all weekly. Dangerous with the bull, they can be stubborn about moving. And there's tons of sheep to count n make sure they all move. Indoor fish, just a feed cube every few days. Outdoor koi, he already occasionally likes to feed them, so it'll be fine. I'll deep clean them before leaving. Selling the last of the cavies, so that won't be a worry. And I don't want him opening gates & forgetting about closing them. Lastly, making sure hot wire is still hot.
I think that's it. Lol
So yeah, don't want him fighting pooptrays every 3 days on top of it all!

SF buck 3-5 was culled this morning.
Looking over buns.
******'s 3 kits, was 2 bucks and a doe, but it looks like both black are does. One has decent shape so far. Other black doe will be culled. Idk if I'll keep the tort buck or not...lol.
Of the 4 black in the grow out pen, I'll keep the best shaped, other 3 will be culled.
Of the 3 in the shelf cage, they're previous culls.
Charlie kit will be culled. Broken sis kept.
Then the 3 smallest in Freckles' litter will be culled.
Same with Lynx's litter of 8, 4-6 will be culled.
Chocolate buck, litter brother of tort, will be culled. Fur is crap right now. Will give him a little time to see if he'll molt out soon or not.
Need to go back and see which of the adult does were previously on the cull list. I think it was one of the chocolates & Freckles. So, they'll be culled soon, too.
18 to 20 are slated for culling.

So...who is left?
19 buns in individual cages.
Then some rex in growout pen. I think it was the 2 broken blue sisters, choc otter buck, blue doe, reg fur mutt choc otter doe & brother lilac.
That's 6 more, one of the brokens has to go.
8 to 10 kits to watch from a few different litters, from previous post above.
About 32 to 34.
But, some of the grow outs have to be compared to the same parings previously and cull the slower growing ones. So, hopefully less than that....
Feed is not in stock. Waiting on it to arrive to go get 20-30 bags.

Okay. Moved stuff around & ended up putting the 3 in cull cage, but then didn't need to in the end, bc they're too old to join with any other buns, lol.
Then, I put all other culls in the outdoor growout pen. But the choc buck stayed in the outdoor crate, again, too old to join others w/o fighting. Total of 17 culls to get through.
Moved keepers into the big 2hole I just got. The Choco×lilacotterrex buck, amber/lilacotterrex doe, blue & brnk Blu opal rex does & the Blackie kit doe.
3 in small cull cage.
13 in the big cull cage.
The 5 keepers.
