I went out to the garage and opened the doors. Started getting the feed ready and suddenly noticed only ONE bunny in the storage bin, where i am keeping them until their cage is ready ! I looked everywhere, mostly on the floor. Turns out she was still on the table behind the bin. Little monkey!

I miss having rabbits, last one was raised in a store bought hutch before i knew any better and got his rabbit stuff hung in the floor wire...absolute nightmare. I've been scared to have rabbits since.

Ouch!

I had a rabbit when I was about 6 or 7. I leash trained her and took her and my dog for walks all over the neighborhood. Took her to the neighbors once. I let her play with their rabbit. He pulled her hair out, so I took her home. Had a bunch of cute little babies :bun then my parents got rid of all the rabbits.

I have 2 Holland Lops, and 3 Lionheads right now. I find i get more for pets than meat rabbits and they eat less . But i might try to raise some for meat. Love the look of Californians.

I had a couple lion heads years ago. Ended up giving them away when my parents moved. They were a kid's 4H project & they lied to me about how big they were supposed to get. AND both were supposed to be girls, but when I went to pick them up she checked and 1 was a boy... but it was too late b/c my kid already fell in love w/ him. We got the boy fixed so the rabbit cage we got didn't cause any problems, BUT we did have to cover the bottom of the run w/ chicken wire b/c they tried to escape.

I’m new to chickens and especially egg laying...I thought roosters had combs? I didn’t know hens could have a comb. My Easter Eggers are about 30 weeks and no eggs and at this point I’m confused over their sex.

It really depends on the breed. I had a buff orp that ended up being a boy & I had no clue b/c he didn't have the big waddle and combs like my leghorn, and didn't crow until he was almost 20 weeks old. Do you have some photos? I posted pictures of my guy and everyone pointed out how obvious it was that he was a boy..

Since Easter Eggers are a mixed heritage bird, they can have a variety of comb types. My EE's have all had small pea combs. The male birds will have pointy saddle and hackle feathers.
