    Questions about showing rabbits??

    Are you talking about ARBA shows? At eight months of age and over Flemish Giants are shown as Seniors. She must weigh at least 14lbs, be longer than 20 inches in length (tip of nose to base of tail), and have ears that measure no less than 5 and 3/4 inches. Most of the points are for the color...

    Eggs! Tracking software for kids?

    It's not quite what you're looking for, but I've used this: http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/ to chart egg laying. It’s helpful for me to see where the flock’s egg production is going, and very simple.

    What is your favorite and/or least favorite TV commercial?

    I really liked the Goat Tears (60 second), and the Cat Herders commercial. The "Can switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on your car insurance?" commercials are really funny too. Some of the CoverGirl commercials don’t sit well with me after the one about outer beauty being more...

    4-H people.. Is 16 too old to start showing poultry?

    In our group, there was a teenager who was just starting collage at the end of his project! This was his first year in poultry 4-H, and his last due to age limits. Sixteen is certainly not to old!

Its approx 16 x 20 and I only have 6 chickens.. So can I put a mini goat in with them without issue? Chickens and goats get along...

    Sho or Pro Rabbit Feed?

    Corn isn't "good" for rabbits, but people still feed corn because it's cheap (same for dog and cat food). Is the rabbit just a pet, with no plans to breed? Purina Show is 16% protein, 3.5% fat, and 18.5/21.5% fiber and Purina Professional is 18% Protein, 1.6% fat, and 14.5/19% Fiber. The...

    Feeding Wheat to Laying Hens

    I've read that egg yolks get their color from the xanthophylls in the chickens' feed. So marigolds, afalfa, and corn would give you those bright orange yolks. As would allowing the flock to forage,.. and eat dark leafy greens. I wouldn't think wheat would have much in the way of orange pigment.

    Breeder hasnt sent papers

    Correct me if I'm wrong,.. But don't all rabbits need to be at least six months old to be registered? Wouldn't the torn ear be a DQ and prevent that rabbit from being registered or shown? Of course you'd still need his pedigree so his offspring could be registered.

    Lion head bunnies

    6 Week old Lion Head Bunnies....assorted colors two of the four have blue eyes. Unsexed. Adorable. Great for pets, 4H, or raising more fuzzy bunnies! A responsible breeder usually won't sell before eight weeks, would sex them before selling, and wouldn't encourage "raising more fuzzy bunnies."...

    Why did my Boy rabbit squeal as if in pain?

    Rabbits will let out a squeal if they're in pain, or as mentioned some buck will squeal after breeding. It's good idea to keep bucks seperate though (at all times).
