Mine are the size of a large chicken egg. Light brown and they have a different texture than chicken eggs. Smoother.

I breed and show Jersey Woolies. Unless they had something extra (amazing pedigree or good show record) I think the price is a little high. If there are few woolies in the area that might also bring up the price.

As expensive as they are, I wouldn't let them out to free range.

Sounds about right for a guinea nest. They like to use one nest. We had up to 60 eggs in a nest with 2 or 3 hens sitting. I never let mine nest outside the coop (unless I can't find them and the nest). If they start a nest outside, I gather up the eggs and put them in an incubator. A...

I use a slicker brush and fine tooth comb (I've got long haired bunnies). The best way to keep them "ready for show" is to feed them a good quality pellet. I also groom at least once a week (even in the off season).

My daughters and I breed and show Jersey Woolies. They are a great breed. Very laid back and even with all the hair require little grooming as an adult. Here are some of mine - baby pictures, junior picture & adult. You'll love them.

Well here's my take on things... Cages - with stacked cages I use drop pans. Otherwise they need something so the bunny on top won't "go" on the ones on the bottom. Usually hanging cages don't have drop pans and just go on the floor. I personally use drop pans and clean them weekly. If you...

My rabbits share a barn with my goats and have for several years without problems. The rabbits are on one side and the goats on another.

I thought maybe it was due to the weather. We had very cold weather the first half of October and then it warmed up the end of October. I know we have some plants blooming again.

JessaLynn - are you going to the Ohio National? Am interested in your cochins but won't be in that part of the state.

Glad to hear everyone is having the same situation. We aren't getting eggs but a lot of breeding and a hissy gander.

Here are some pictures of my new litter. They are 2 1/2 weeks old and jumping everywhere.

We have both solid bottom and wire bottom nestboxes. With the wire bottom, we start with a piece of cardboard and then add the nestbox filler. They are easier to keep clean but you have to make sure the doe doesn't pull out the cardboard. With our solid bottom nestboxes, after many times of...

We start with straw and once we change the bedding, we switch to hay. This gives the babies something to nibble.

My guineas go inside every night but it takes weeks to train them (I pen them for 6 weeks and then might have to do some more as a refresher). Outside at night, guineas are just a sitting snack.

Too bad we are done for the year - I'd like to add some browns to my flock.

Pied aren't rare, they are just a cross between a color and white. The middle ones might be pied - they seem to have more white than they should. The RP also seem to have more white with their whole wing white. Some of the ones on the bottom look like pearl keets.

I'm planning on it.

Neither my ducks or geese liked the pond as youngsters. It took 3 years for the ducks. The first year they barely get near the pond. The next year they played around the edges. Finally this year they are really "in" the pond. The geese (who are yearlings) are just at the play around the...

My calls pay for themselves. Although they don't lay many eggs a season, I usually make enough off the ducklings to pay the food bill for the year.
