It has been a very harsh winther for people and beasts alike, we have lost all our poultry (except one old bantam hen) to a couple of very hungry foxes, and three newborn litters were frozen to death.
Very sad, but life goes must go on…
Two litters have survived, the oldest ones were born February 7th.
Two are jet black, one is black with some white coat hairs and a white foot – one is grey with white coat hairs on half the body. I have never seen any like those two before!
Here is a black and the black with white hairs
And here is the grey one. It will be interesting to see how they turn out when they grow up!
The next litter was born Feb. 17th, I took the chance and moved the entire nest into an emergency cage in our greenhouse, hoping the mum would not find it too disturbing. She was fine about it, and they are doing well. On these pictures they are about 18 days old, have just got their eyes open and have started jumping about and munching on food.
Irresistable!
The big white fluff is mums bum…
More babies are on the way, hopefully!
Simpelt hen ikke til at stå for, sådanne nogle små angoraunger:-)

Nej vel?
Har du et bud på de to mærkelige farver, sort og grå med hvide enkelthår???

Næ, jeg ved ikke rigtigt hvad “farven” kaldes, men søde ser de da ud. Bliver spændende at se farven omkring fem mdr´s klippet.
Spændende iøvrigt vdr de forskellige slags uld.
