Well, instead of 3 girls and one boy... We have 3 boys and one girl. I have some serious concerns about the people who sexed these rabbits. Good thing it doesn't really matter. The only one that was right from the beginning was the one the guy said he wasn't sure about but he guessed it was...

Pictures are coming! I took some. They weren't easy to take. I got some cute ones of Momma and babies. Will try and post soon. Oh, Mamma has 5 babies!

Very interesting... I have ordered a st. run (5) chicks from Randall Burkey Co. They advertise these birds as Ameraucanas. But in the discription it says that they are nicknamed the EE. That of which is not true. The EE is it's own breed. Very interesting... I'll be courious to see what...

I have two Sebright hens and a roo. I have been so scared that these birds would be hard to raise...that they would not lay...that they would not sit...they could not hatch or raise their own. To YOU that love the Sebright! I have two Broody hens. My Broody hen 1 is hatching now...she has...

Thank you all for helping! I did finally find a picture. My little girls are boys... So, I'm not really sure what we have. We have four rabbits. I do know that two are boys for sure. Now... This is so terribly funny! Well, they are well fed, housed, and loved. Doesn't really matter what...

Wow! I'm really confused! LOL When we got our rabbits they were young (8 weeks) The one that I noticed this on was sexed through TSC. Or so I thought. Now, this evening I noticed the same thing on one of my other rabbits. Her's or I guess it's a him now... They are large pink spots...

Please forgive my ignorance...but my rabbit has two long tube like things. They are located around her genitals. My guess is these are nipples for nursing young???? I'm really not sure. They are about 2 inches long, they branch back towards her rear. They may not be that far back but they...

We have brought home two Spangled Ham. Roos. They are beautiful and about a year old. They crow like roosters should but they make a growling noise. What is the growl and what does it mean? It doesn't seem to happen when they are near anyone else. They seem to be by themselves when they do...

I don't think that you did something wrong. I would only suggest that you make sure that what you are seeing is actually a danger to the flock and not just normal behavior. I read over that Rooster page and it is very helpful...and true. Roos have a job to do. They don't do it all lovey and...

Oh, how ignorance is bliss...

We put our chicks out last weekend. 4 were 1 week old and the rest were 4-5 weeks old. They all got along great and they really loved being out there. The older ones gave themselves dust baths and the little ones were right there watching. The seemed to be more grown up the next day. I feel...

Quote: My understanding of Sebrights is that they are sex-linked. If you mate a Silver Roo with a Golden Hen you will get silver chicks. and the opposite. Golden Roo + silver hen = golden chicks. Please let me know if this is incorrect. I have Goldens and would like Silvers. I thought...

Quote: I'm so sorry that you are going through such a disappointing time. My thoughts...I understand that you wanted to raise these chicks. Part of that is making decisions that are in their best interest. It sounds like you are trying to do that. You have huge concerns about putting the...

Quote: I agree. I hand turned first batch and 3 of 4 hatched are are doing great. I used the auto turner with the second and I got 4 out of 41 alive. What I wish I would have known? A chicken egg doesn't hatch in 21 days. It's just a guess and it can take up to a week longer! I should...
