BUNNIES!

Today we gained 3 new bunnies. 
Two young babies and one full grown.
One of the babies is in Wd's Easter pics, the other is a dark gray. We acquired these from a friend whose mother showed up with them just before Easter for her kids. Since she was not prepared to raise bunnies, she wanted us to have them. So now Max & Ruby live with us.
The other came from Brooke. She wanted him to be able to live a cage free life, so Snowball lives with us as well.
We fixed the babies a cage in the barn until they get a little bigger, then they will join the others.

Last night I 'flashlighted' or 'candled' the eggs in the incubator. Good news is that I only had 11 that were not fertilized.
When you 'flashlight' them you will either see veins, the air sack and a dark spot or nothing at all. If there is nothing by the 7th day, it was not fertilized and is removed from the incubator.

This is what you're looking for...

Pretty cool, huh?!?
