Babigyrl... Missed seeing your Bichon pop up! Here are my boys!!!
NOAH

Bichon! Seeing your bichon reminds me that I really need to give mine a bath. LOL. My rescue makes it a sport to roll the bichons around in the dirt.

So much that my girl, Diva, who is pictured in my avatar, will run to the back door and patiently wait to be let in instead of coming in the front door (and vise versa if I am calling them through the back door). :: sigh ::...It drives my DH batty but....I really can't blame her.

For those of you looking for MG vaccines, i don't know if this is cheaper, but these guys have a combo vaccine that does CRD, MG, Newcastle, and Bronchitis for $175 ....? I think the Newcastle is only an issue if you are showing your birds, but never hurts, and it is cheaper than trying to buy all separate.
I don't know what age they have to be to use this one

While I agree with your assessment of "if they're meat then eat them" I have to say that looking at the face of that grey one it just reinforces that, while I am a mammal eater, I'm not sure I could actually butcher one myself.

sorry I realized I should clarify. I've hunted and cleaned meat and worked several seasons as the meat wrapper for an outfitter, I just might have a hard time with that grey face that I rasied.

Well, um, I make Himself take care of the rabbits

Once they are slaughtered and skinned (I don't see that part), the cutting up and packaging is pretty easy, I agree. Chickens and ducks are not so hard.

well i don't know where your town is on the map, but i might be interested in those hypothetical chicks, i was only able to find one of this color. Especially if they come from that hen! That's an amazingly nice hen. I really believe that personality is inherited, to some extent.

course you will probably have a hard time getting eggs, if she's so broody, lol.

Hartford is very southwest. We are practically in the bottom left corner of Michigan. About 30 min west of Kalamazoo...an hour and a half southwest of Grand Rapids. It only takes me about 20 min to get to Lake Michigan. I'll be honest with you, if I end up with even one of these new baby d'uccles as a hen you could have her...if we're close enough. My mom was supposed to take one of them and decided not too. I'm hoping to get a male from one to pair with Waffles but I really don't need two hen d'uccles. Just let me know!

I don't think I could read all the posts that amass in one day's time without wearing out. I just check and found that there was 305 posts in the last 24 hours. Trying to catch up after a week would probably make you brain explode.

I don't understand this? If they are meat rabbits, why aren't you eating them instead of selling them?

Here's a couple of my young meaties.

​

LOL! Honestly, I don't think my DH wants to care for them or has the heart to process them. I only eat fish (it's been 20 years since i've eating anything but) so I have no vested interest either. He finally admitted he wanted to be rid of them. Win for me....because I have more room for angoras...

...not sure I could process that little grey bunny you posted. SOOOOoOoOo cute.

Bichon! ...

I am a groomer and I am sad to say that my bichon was grey last night...We have a long dirt driveway on a dirt road... I he just can't help himself. Gotta roll on all that fresh dirt!!! Noah was given to me by a customer that didn't want him anymore and Gunny was rescued from a humane society in Lake City. A neighbor that I groom for calls our dogs Dirt Road Dogs because there is little use in keeping them long and beautiful... they just go roll as soon as they get outside.

Does anyone have a magic trick for removing vinyl floor from concrete? I am scraping it up with a mutt, and it is going painfully slow, I almost think I could do it just as fast with my fingernails. At this rate, I am going to be at this forever.

Good grief! I just caught up with the 5 pages since this morning and clicked back to reference a post when I noticed it said I still have unread posts. But I just caught up!

Methinks, we need a nice sun-shiny day so all us peeps are spending our time outside.
