Our #1 problem with raising chicks is them getting soaked by the water and dying of cold.
We’ve tried just about everything and today we made a new contraption. Vertical water ni***es and a stand to hold the water containers up. Brooklynn and I spent a few hours with the chicks getting them trained to use it and once they all figured it out we felt confident enough to get them moved to the brooder. We use a hot plate instead of a heat lamp as those are so dangerous but we do have one on stand by incase they need it.

Started a new batch of chicks in the incubator Brooklynn did this set by herself and I only supervised. I’m so proud of her.

All 12 baby chicks have arrived into this world healthy and happy. Moving into their brooder this evening once the last few are dried and fluffy. An absolute blessing and wonderful adventure.

Brooklynn and her 4-H club Riverside went to Landon trail and cleaned up the path, this past Sunday. It was a nice day out and we had fun.
Funny story:
We arrived and backed the car into a spot to stay out of the suns rays. While doing so, Brooklynn spots a “chicken” in the bushes and I tell her to go catch it, turns out it was a vacuum 🤪

Ruby’s Gems Rabbitry can hardly contain our excitement!
We have 3 baby bantam Cochin eggs pipping and 2 days left on the timer. Brooklynn has already started working to prepare her next batch as soon as these are hatched.
She has been in compleate fair mode since last Saturday when we took her birds to get tested and banded.
I love how excited she is to share her love and knowledge with others interested in poultry and rabbits.

A very special litter of Havanas were born today. I’ve never seen Brooklynn react the way she did when I told her who they were out of.

They were born while she was at school and she only got the pictures I emailed her and not the text explaining who momma was.

Small but mighty.
We can’t wait to watch them grow.
We know Ruby is watching over them with great love and pride.

It’s SPRING time! And you know what that means?
Baby Bunny 🐰 Boom 💥 incoming!

Brooklynn has been trying for a litter of chocolate Havanas for 6 years and tonight that dream was achieved by Ruby’s Gems Pot8os (potatoe) named after a race horse. Pot8os gave Brooklynn an insane amount of beautiful healthy kits totaling 10. Of course this new over achieving mom had to have them outside the nest box but we found them in time and they are all warm and snug in the box now. Thanks to Dad (Jim) for his awesome warm belly.
Just goes to show nothing is fool proof lol this doe had 2 fall offs (successfully contact) hoping for 3-4 and BAM 💥 10. Hope the other moms have small litters so we can foster part of these to help them grow.

Forgot to add Brooklynn wanted to make a donation to the KSRBA Team Kansas auction. So she told me what she wanted and I helped make it happen. She donated a 20oz tumbler and 2 Cage cards with the same design. It turned out lovely and we were so thrilled to hear that Mrs. Susan was ready to go into a bid war to buy it. Congratulations on your first bunny cup Susan we hope you enjoy it. Mrs.Susan is such an inspiring and kind teacher. She loves to help our youth anyway she can. This tumbler fits her so well as the quote Brooklynn picked (Brooklynn is big on learning) says
“The beautiful thing about learning is no one can take it away from you.” B.B King

Yesterday Brooklynn and Mom ventured to Manhattan KS to the BBRC rabbit show. Dad had to work so we took the truck and though it was strange not having him with us we managed to relax and have fun. Brooklynn loved her new chair, but discovered it was HUGE so probably won’t be brining it to any big shows. We also discovered one of Nakols new juniors had a bunny on her nose and when she wiggles her nose it looks like it’s hopping. Cutest bunny mark EVER. We dubbed her Bunny LoL

Here is a short recap of how Brooklynn’s rabbits placed. She brought a small group 8 Havanas 1 New Zealand and 1 Netherland dwarf for comments.

Show A
Havanas
Best of Breed

New Zealand
Best of Breed

Netherland
Great head, short thick well furred ears, type was very nice but fur is poooh.

Show B
Havana
Best of Breed
Best opposite of Breed

New Zealand
Best of Breed

Netherland
Same comments. Now to decide what to do with him. He’s adorable and sweet but that fur LoL

Congratulations to all of our friends on their placings yesterday. We had such a nice time visiting with everyone especially Nakol and Pam. Missing our 3rd amigo Colben. Hope you can make the next show.

Going through my phone I realized I’ve not posted so many great memories. Like this one.
Thank you so much ADM PenPal for memorializing Brooklynns enormous wins from the 100th ARBA convention. Where her little Havanas won not only Best of Breed but Best Opposite S*x of Breed as well. Not a dry eye in the Powell family for weeks.
