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?
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...
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:
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?
Got the beautiful little chick out of the Bantam Bin at TSC I have had 2 different answers as to what breed it might be. It has yellow fully feathered legs. So want more opinions, also if it is one of the breeds mentioned I am thinking it is a Pullet. Approx 4-5 days old. I just know for sure...
I picked up some Bantam chicks today from TSC. They have a minimum order of 6 so I ended up with the Lavender Cochin I wanted plus 5 more that I dont know what breed they are, just that they are super tiny and beyond adorable. Can anyone give me any guesses on what I have here?
Also how do you...
Up until today I had no doubt that my Ancona chicks where pullets. Now at 8 weeks old I am getting a bit worried because I am seeing pink in the combs and the comb size. Can anyone reassure me that they are indeed pullets and not all cockerels? Never raised this breed before so no frame of...
They are both 2 years old and are bonded, been together since they where 3 months old. Both born the last of January 2015
They have not been castrated so can be used for breeding. Or you can wether them and have great herd/pet goats.
They are family pets that we use to clear brush. They are...
I have a 5 week old Dixie Rainbow chick with something wrong with her leg.She was fine and growing normally up till today but now her knee is dropped down and the leg sticks out to the side. She can and does walk on it.
What could it be and what could it possibly mean for her long term...
I got 6 Dixie Rainbows from TSC 1 is a Roo and 4 look pretty similar but this one girl who I named Dixie has no tail at all not even the little tail nub that the feathers grow out of. What breed might she be crossed with to produce this?
A quick google search said possibly Rumpless Game Fowl...
My white leghorn hen hatched out 2 little ones yesterday and two more are supposed to hatch today. I want to take the chicks and raise them in the house since I have no safe place for them to be outside with mom. What day is the best day to take the chicks from her and how long should I allow...
I just hatched out 2 chicks and waiting on two more.
The little white one has a White Leghorn hen with a EE Roo. The little dark one is either a RIR or Sex Link hen with an EE Roo I was curious to see if anyone has those crosses and what they may look like? Also do you think the cockerel is a...
Are all these Ladies RIR?
Another question I have several Sex Links some of them have gold on them either a little or a lot and then I have some solid black. Are they classified by the color ie Gold Sex Link/Black Sex Link or just Sex Links?
One of my 8 week old Barred Rock chicks got herself in a pickle today. She managed to get stuck for at least a few hours and when I found her and got her free the one leg was cold to the touch and she was unable to put it down right to walk, it stuck out behind her. She does move it and the foot...
One of my Rode Island Red hens has started purring as she walks around and today I saw her mount 2 other hens. She is 2 yo now and as of right now the only rooster in the flock is 10 weeks old so isnt quiet up to mating just yet.
My question is will this effect her egg laying or something I...
Took some pictures of my ladies and chicks the other night and wanted to share. My older girls are Rode Island Reds, Sex Links and 1 Leghorn. My little girls are Sex links, Barre rocks, Easter Eggers, Leghorns & 2 fat little Cornish Rocks. The older hens are all 2yo and the Easter Eggers...
I have 14 laying hens & have chicks that are 8 weeks & 4 weeks old. When will it be alright to mix them together? We do have hawks here as well and right now the chicks are in a separate area totally enclosed but they are getting crowded. The 8 and 4 week olds are all together.
6 1/2 week old Araucana chick was bought at the local CoOp as a pullet along with 3 others. This chick has a great personality and has become a bit of a favorite of mine. I am no expert but I am pretty sure that by how different it looks from the others that a roo got into the mix :( I will...
