    The Carroll county fair is in Hillsville, VA. Near Galax. I won't be showing since I'm NPIP and can't intermingle my birds with non-NPIP. But I might come and watch the chicken (and rabbit, I believe they're on the same day) shows.

    What Rabbits Do You Have? Show Off Your Rabbits Here!

    I really enjoyed reading that, @Bunnylady. I raise Holland Lops and the confusion around newer folks with all the lop breeds can be a chore to explain all the time. Thanks, that was pretty straightforward explanation of them all. I believe American Chins are listed with the ALBC (American...

    What Rabbits Do You Have? Show Off Your Rabbits Here!

    If I was in your position I would foster. What breed is the first doe? The only thing I can think of that might cause complications is the number of kits vs. the number of teats the doe has.

    I have Holland Lops as well. I have 22 out there I think... I lose count sometimes :bun I'm a member of ARBA and show at as many shows as possible. Do you breed and show?, or just own them as pets?

    What did you do in the garden today?

    The chicken poop really makes things grow! I have a plum and apricot tree inside the run and boy have they grown within the past year. Same with the climbing roses I have on the fence and the hostas inside the run. I don't think you can kill hostas.
