"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[kuntrygirl]

Kuntrygirl, Are you breeding any rabbits yet?

X2.  And if you are, what kind?  My granddaughter has talked me into a rabbit (bunny) and my research is that they get along fine with the chickens although I will build a separate hutch for night for the rabbit.  I read on BYC that one person had his actually together, in the same coop at night.  I wouldn't do that, my girls would poop on it!  LOL

I will be breeding my Californians, New Zealands and Flemish Giants. And they do get along fine with chickens. I let mine out in the yard to free range with the other animals. Mine are tame, so they will not run off. They like finding a good spot in the yard or under the trampoline and taking a nap. You may have already saw these pics that I posted of a couple of them enjoying being out of their cage but I will re-post in case you didn't.. What you see is what you get. That's all they do. I can go inside and take a nap for 5 hours and they will be in the same vicinity when I go back out to check on them. They do not wander off. They have their own rabbit house.

Me & Jim were just now standing outside & suddenly about 200 chicadees

came flying out of our hedge - slamming into us, the carport, the

windows -- we were yelling & ducking & a young hawk burst out of the

hedge & flew the opposite direction. Jim said he guessed he didn't

realize he was hunting "fast food".


What do ya'll do with all those rabbits? do you eat them?

mbness glad your NPIP went well! i need to call & get mine renewed.

Congrats on your hatch Sandy! what's a SBEL?

I still need to hatch some Ameracaunas & RIR's & German New Hamps & BCMs......& peachicks!!! when they start laying.

I will have both peacock eggs and peachicks available for sell this year.

That is too funny. Reminds me of the scene from the movie "The Birds.

Yes, I sell the rabbits and we process the extra males.

NPIP testing all done.... he was a nice guy

Congrats!!! Piece a cake huh? Good job.

My re-certification is Monday morning.

Terri, I can't wait to start seeing pea eggs. I hope that I don't have anything in the bator. If so, then I will have to take them out and put in the pea eggs. :/

What month did yours start laying last year? I will have to check to see when did mine start laying last year, so that I can mark my calendar for this year.

Terri, looks like the girls started laying eggs the last part of April or first week in May. Prince was the first egg and he was hatched May 30, 2012.

Auuuuuuuuu!

P.S. I went on-line to look at bunnies and some of the giants were as big as a grown man, just about. It was stunning!

The SBEL is a white leghorn x ameracauna cross. Super Blue Egg Layer Supposed to lay plenty of large blue eggs. Of course, I only got one to hatch and with my luck it will probably be a cockerel! Ha!

I will be filling the incubator again next week with better luck, I hope. Remember--I should be on your list for pea eggs! We need to discuss colors.
