Guess its time to update. This week hasnt been to SS, Tuesday I had to work a ballgame for FFA. Then today we got our FFA student teacher and he is awesome!!We will be great friends. 
Then we left the school earlier today due to the weather, we left at 1. Didnt start until 3 but the buses run up til 5:30 so pretty smart to let us loose. But we have an inch now with more expected, its pretty out and FREEEZING.
This afternoon I finished preparing Deb for baby production, gave her hay around the nest. She had burrowed a hole into the bedding, so I figure she will have them soon. She has a feed sack over the front of her cage, with vents up at the top and a place for the waterer. This will be her 3rd breeding since November, first time she lost partly my fault. Then she didnt take, and now we wait for kindling.
Mom asked me what I was going to do if they lost em. And I know its cold and all but I have their records, and if they lose em this go around heres my plan. I will retire Deb to pet status (I cant get rid of her, she is my favorite, my pet), and the Lop buck and the other 3 does will be sold. The money from that will finance a pair of Californian rabbits, then I will go from there. But hopefully they keep them, and raise them. 
Also this afternoon, I did all the necessaries to the bator. Raised humidity to 75 and took the turner out. Then placed the eggs on the wire for the hatching. Their is some moisture collecting on the windows. But the humidity is correct so I dont know what to do. Day 19 begins at 7 tonight. The brooder is setup under my desk in a rubbermaid. I have feed and water ready, and newspaper down with the lamp running right now. So hopefully we will have a good hatch
I doubt there will school tomorrow, so I will have bator updates till they hatch
