I had no idea that rabbits played with toys until I got my little Jersey Wooly. I put a ball with a bell it in made for cats in her exercise pen and she loves rolling it around. What other toys are good for bunnies?
Yes she is a house bunny. She has a regular bunny age but when I get home from work I put her out into and caged area so she can run and jump and play.
I got this beautiful sweet girl a few weeks ago.
She was born 5/27/2017 and is the cuddliest little thing ever.
When I got her the lady who breeds them said she cannot have any thing other than rabbit pellets until she is 6 months old. Is this true?
Also the older she gets the greyer her...
She dosnt have any muffs or beard. Hadnt heard of a booted bantam will look into that breed. It dosnt matter any I just love that I have a lavender chicken lol.
Thank you for the replies.
Still trying to positively ID this lovely little bantam. It is now 4 weeks old and still looking like a pullet, though never having this breed before I dont know that 100% for sure.
Here she is at 2/3 weeks:
and here she is as of tonight at 4 weeks:
Still trying to positively identify this chick. 3 weeks old, bantam bin, feathered legs and first & middle toes. Lavender body, fluff and feathers, yellow smooth neck/head. Very timid but very sweet.
What are the odds of saving a chick after it is showing signs of infection? Pale, Puffed up but still eating and drinking?
I have lost two chicks 6weeks and 7 weeks with at least 5 others showing symptoms. Dosing with 9.5 cc Corid per gallon since yesterday after the first death.
Chickens...
The feathers are not broken or damaged in any way. They are complete feathers just have a curl to them.
There are some on her body as well and on her wings just hard to get a good picture of them all. I guess time will tell :)
She didnt make it :( passed earlier today.
I have had chickens for 3 years now. Raising chicks for 2 and this is my first ever loss. I know I have been super lucky but I think it actually makes it suck more.
If it was just a few feathers I wouldnt think much of it. But they are all over her body, top and bottom. I will take more pics this evening after work. My phone wouldnt flash because my battery was low.
Thank you for the food suggestion. I have added chicks before to my flick but didnt have this many chickens.
She was drinking when I left and her eyes were open so I havnt given up all hope yet. She is just so under weight now :(
Their area is well over 20,000 square feet
Feeding Chick Starter Grower, Scratch and layer crumbles along with cat food.
As of this morning she wont eat or drink. Gave water with corrid via syringe and made her some eggs with moistened chick food. She is sitting there with her eyes shut, only...
I have a 9 week old Black Australorp pullet who was fine yesterday but today I found her hiding in a nest box fluffed up. I picked her up and noticed she had an empty crop and was very skinny. She is drinking a lot of water but only a tiny bit of food. She wont get up and walk, and looks pale...
So I have this 5 week old Buff Orpington who has feathers that look like she has stuck her beak in a light socket her "sister" is smooth like I expect one to be but this pullet reminds me of a frizzle only not so frazzled
So what is up with this little pullet?
