I'd breed them again. I have two does due, now, myself. Actually, 1 of them is 2 days overdue. If she doesn't have them soon, I'll breed her again. When I bred them, I left them in the cage with the buck and he topped them and fell over 3 times with one doe and 4 with the other, but even so, they're's no guarantee. As for the weather, I'm with Larsen Poultry Ranch on how it's just when theyre being born that theyre most vulnerable but after that, they'll be ok.
If my kits could survive the Polar Blast that hit us here in Texas, last winter, they can survive your winter. Of course, I did have a tarp over the pen, with a heat lamp under it but with the power outages and the brown outs, I did worry, however, they made it! Resilent them California Whites! :celebrate :weee

Alright, so ...
I am still waiting on litters. Nothing from either doe still. Not sure whats up. Rhetorical pondering 🙄🙄
Zelda was not a happy camper and attacked him everytime he would get near her. Thats very unusual for her. Maggie did well and he had three fall offs. On the second attempt, the next day, she wouldnt lift.
We did a show a few weeks ago. First one ever for them and me. Learned a good bit and would like to do it again.
I got a second job cause bills are out of control, mainly regular monthly bills 🤷🏻‍♀️ So, the shows are going to wait since they are during when i work job 2.
Im “remodeling” the house a touch. Mainly just a new floor, but of course that means - “well, while X is being done, i might as well do Y”
The kitchen subfloor is rotted by the patio door and im having a tough time with insurance. They dont cover rot, but they cover water leaks 🤷🏻‍♀️ Well, it rotted because of a water leak. Now they want pictures! I pulled up the floor, no pictures were taken because there was no reason to take any. I just wanted to do the kitchen floor at the same time as the living room, not because there was an issue.
They did send us a check to cover the cost of painting the water spots on the ceilings of two rooms.
My anxiety and adhd are going nuts. Thats always fun. Not!
I had a very bad/sad incident with my 75 gal fish tank. The heater malfunctioned and all but one little bichir died. It was horrible! I smelled it as soon as i came home, but didnt realize where it was coming from. The tank is in the kiddos’ room and he keeps the door shut. I checked for bad potatoes, took out the garbage, cleaned the sink and disposal, and cleaned the litter boxes. Each time i thought id found the source. Not that the house is that dirt (lol), i was just grasping at straws. All night long i smelled it and was getting very nauseous. I don't even remember why i went into his room since it wasn't a feeding day for them, but —- yeah. That what just plain bad. There werent many in there, but they were the big ones.
On a good note, i finally figured out that i can get another dog since my allergy seems to be to their yeast and not the regular dog allergy. Now i just need to find one not susceptible to yeast, skin infections and, cat friendly. My little old fluffy boy doesnt do well with dogs i think hes afraid of them. The other two cats love dogs.
Im sure i forgot lots of stuff, but will try to keep with this a bit better. Job 2 only has me for the weekend and a weekday, so it isnt too bad. I think i dont officially start til tomorrow.

Yeah, I think they're all that way. As I mentioned before, only one time have I ever felt the babies inside and that was because they were big babies, 4 of them. Other than that time, I can never tell either. At times I thought maybe she isn't pregnant, Lol, but they always are, so don't fret. Let me know how it goes. ;)
