chichester, NH chicken swap sat. march 28th ***new date set***

[firedove]

OOPS, realized my old pricing list was still up on my art website. I don't charge nearly as much anymore, economy and all. If you were discouraged by the prices they have been updated now. It's obviously too late to deliver to Chichester but I'm open for orders for future NH swaps.

oh my, so for a better chance at producing something that could would be shown would be to use what doe? LOL way more confusing than i thought. the breeder said to put him in the show, wonder why she thinks it could be shown if the pattern is more than it should be. alot to learn i see, as with everything, it cant be easy.

yeah there is a lot to learn with showing rabbits. but its easily learned. and always tons of people to give some good advice and sometimes bad advice. but that happens everywhere with animals.

Ok ARBA Standards of Perfection call for:

Pattern:
all broken patterned animals are to have balanced nose markings, ( no preference given for butterfly over evenly balanced nose spots), a colored eye marking around each eye and color on both ears.
the body color is to be evenly distributed in a spotted, patched, or blanket pattern, Preference given to an evenly balanced pattern. the feet below the ankle joints are to be pure white.
the total amount of coloration on a broken patterned animal is to be not less than 10 % (must be bigger than a dime) or more than 50 % of the entire animal.


You get your best broken patterns from breeding the charlie to a solid patterned animal.
what I would do is breed these 2 together , get a litter, keep the one with no nose spot or butterfly. then when you find a nice Harliquin doe or buck breed it to the Charlie. that way you will get both broken and solid animals

picture of aacceptable nose spot but the body didnt have enough color:

this baby is a Charlie, notice the missing nose spot or butterfly , but has slight eye markings.

not all of these rabbit are mini rex but the standards are all the same for all broken patterned rabbits.
These are all my rabbits, some were breeders some from litters.
The last rabbit Mr, Majestic was bought because he was just so darned perfect, he is a Simese Satin.

great pics, i learn so much faster this way, by pictures! thank you thank you

Ig you want then for pets then go ahead and breed, if you want better quality then you going to need a Harliwuin doe to go with the tri buck.

I am setting up for scovies and Sabastapoles this weekend and will have plenty of room for Calls.
