On a different topic I just got some pics of little Jackdaw - a cross between my frizzle and my sultan and she is just growing into such a fabulous looking bird! (Both pics. are Jackdaw)



(Unfortunately the other I kept almost just like her is growing into an obvious cockerel, so if any of you want little Rook just let me know!)

I love the coloring. Overall just a really striking bird. I also really like the names you come up with. Where do you get them from? What are some of the others names? Do you feel attacked?
 
So for you rabbit peeps....

The first pet me and my husband ever got was a mini lop named Serendipity. She was a very sweet gentle thing, but after we got married she was left in the care of a family member who was not careful enough and didn't realize a rabbit might eat a whole dishcloth and she did not make it. A few years later we got a male supposed lop/dutch mix rabbit but as soon as he hit puberty he turned freaking crazy aggressive. I couldn't do anything with him anymore safely. I was scared of a rabbit!

Well it has been years since that insane, killer kung-fu nightmare and we are heavily considering getting another rabbit. My husband remarked that he'd love one of the BIG rabbits, and I looked into temperaments and found that the breed Flemish Giant sounded like the right fit. I also want show quality because I think it would be fun to be able to show a rabbit. That crazy rabbit has left a mental scar on us though, and I was wondering if you guys had some advice on making sure it didn't happen again. What is a better gender for a pet? How can we ensure we get a well raised, healthy bunny? I don't want a half or full grown rabbit that has had no human interaction. We want a freshly weaned rabbit, or one that is use to humans.

Sorry about that, Linda! I do apologize.  
As you know, since I was sick, when a few litters were due to be processed, they became older than I process for fryers, so I raised them to 6-7 months old and sold them as breeding stock, ready to mate. I wish I could have found a deal like that when I first started. I posted an ad on Grieg's list and they went fast. Most of the does were already pregnant! My customers called back and were excited about how big the litters were and how good the does were mothering the bunnies.
Well, this one couple, from Slidell, her name is Britney, but I don't remember his, called after having the rabbits for close to a month that they weren't having babies. I told them to bring the rabbit does to me and I would mate them with my 2 proven bucks, maybe the buck, I sold them was a late bloomer and I would give them a young 8 week old doe for their trouble. Well they bring back all 3 rabbits and insist I replace them, because they built this huge barn and was counting in them to start producing sooner for the project they were into. I took the rabbits back and even had to give them one of my original does to do so.
When the man would not go into the rabbit barn, just waited for me to bring out the rabbits. This seemed strange to me but I didn't really didn't think much about it at the time.
Well, the rabbits they brought back were really acting strange and aggressive towards me! Linda, you know I have no aggressive rabbits and handle them all and can even take the bunnies from beneath them while they are in the nests! Both does had a litter within a couple of week, but did not pull any fur and killed the babies as soon as they were born. This really upset me. One rabbit was eating her young! I was so upset!  Well a few days after that, Britney called to say they wanted another exchange, because one of the rabbits were ........ .................. on the property to kill all my free ranging birds? Yes, we do have rattle snakes in the woods, but the king snakes keep them under control. My neighbor has a small child that plays in their yard and also a miniature weenie dog!
Hubby went to the local police chief and told them about the snakes and they said they would pass often and be on the look-out, but without any evidence, what could they do? Finally around 4pm, I finally got someone to answer my email at craigslist and they said they would look into it, but it was up to my local police to take action! I was told by a friend that if I flagged the ad as being SPAM, it would be pulled and it was, but I don't think craigslist will give us the ip address or any information as to who posted the ad!

What comes from you come back to you. Be at peice, they will get what they deserve. The saddest part is people like that never get it! They will blame others and wonder why, they will never understand they are doing it to them self.

I will post on Craigslist as well. These people, I am sure have done things like this before.

I was so upset!  Well a few days after that, Britney called to say they wanted another exchange, because one of the rabbits were acting hostile and the does would not mate with  the buck. This was really weird, because one of the does was my breeding stock and 15 months old, had several litters and the buck had already impregnated 2 other does, so he was proven!
After a short discussion with George, on the phone, I had him ask if anyone near them had a pet snake, that could have come near the rabbits, maybe they smelled the snake on him or something? This B$#%^*, told George he had a huge barn where he was raising and selling large snakes, that's why he needed lots of bunnies! I was so upset at this that I prayed that God would intervene and how sorry I was to have not asked enough questions before selling them to these people. I was modified.
Yes, these are meat rabbits and we eat, whatever aren't sold by 12 weeks old. They are calmly held and it takes one bullet to into the head for instant death, so they do not suffer. Snake breeders put live rabbits into the tank for the snake to hunt and after the bunny is scared almost to death, trying to escape, the snake coils around the rabbit crushing it and then swallows it! I still feel so guilty to have an animal treated like this! I treat our animals with compassion and they live a good life, until they are processed and killed very humanly, as quickly as possible. I do not kill any animal by hitting them in the head, and am not trying to judge anyone that does, but I could never hit any domestic animal!
Well, that's not all! As we were dressing Sunday morning to spend a day at my daughters for our yearly, Christmas dinner, with just my daughters and their families, the phone rings and wants a FREE rabbit. As soon as hubby hangs up the phone rings again. We were running late and already had our coats on, so I told him to just let the answer machine take a message. Someone posted an ad on Grieg's list that we have over 40 rabbits we were giving away free, first one here gets them so hurry before they are all gone! Call when you arrive at the gate! They put our complete address, directions to get here, from the interstate exit and out phone number! We arrived home to find our answer machine full, over 50 calls and the phone ringing all night and all day today. People were driving over 50 miles to get their free rabbits and calling from the driveway, at 4am. The ad said that as long as the ad was posted, we still had rabbits, so Hurry before they were all gone and when they were gone, the ad would be removed!
Since I never posted the ad, I could not remove it!  It is now 5:15 am and I can't sleep, I am so upset. What if this SOB releases pythons on the property to kill all my free ranging birds? Yes, we do have rattle snakes in the woods, but the king snakes keep them under control. My neighbor has a small child that plays in their yard and also a miniature weenie dog!

Wow I don't know what to say I can't believe how cruel this SOB would be to the animals and to you. I will be praying for you. You will need a lawyer to get that I P address if you can't afford one call your local elder care office explain what happened they might be able to get you an attorney that is pro bono. No one should have to have this kind of stress at their home!! As for the sheriff and Craig's list it's the squeaky wheel that gets greese. Don't give up you keep after them you'll get what you need. Unfortunately you have been chosen to stop this crazy abusive man.Pam

Thanks Linda, I was insulted by his tone and calling me a liar. What worries me is they have 2 small children with him, and a 6 to 7 foot snake may get out and hurt or eat one of them. They raise sad sell these in Slidell, if I understood correctly, why waiting an extra week or 2 would make a difference ! If these get out in Slidell, it may get as bad as Florida! I hope creig's list gives me or the police the IP address, so they can catch the guy.

We've already had one that I know of it was twelve ft long crossing the street one mile from our place. It was run over by the first car to pass and was in the paper. Pam
