Its okay- I am a firm believer in fate and whats meant to be. You sold all your babies and someone brought me a lop today with a tattooed ear that was found as a "stray". She is beautiful. Not the kind of bunny I wanted, but then again, I rarely get to pick out the kind of any animal that I want (even had to create my own Uggos).
I have no idea what the tattoo in her ear means- it says BF 3 or Maybe its an 8 or maybe its another B. Anyone know what it means?
No idea how old she is, or if she is bred/spayed/not . Her coat is so clean and shiny and spectacular.
Anyhow she is extremely tame, and can be handled with no problems.

Tats are very common. Is it on the left ear ( it should be). Usually they are made at weaning. Sometimes the number only means a birth date, or which litter it came from. There is no universal system for tats. Good luck finding an owner though. Only implanted chips really have any chance. These are used for tracking purposes in rabbits, as well as other animals. My wife should chip me, ha ha! Next litter you are getting a Flemish. I'm holding one of the girls from this batch "just in case" I make it to this Chickstock thing. Craigslist the LOP unless you fall in love with him/her, lol! We'll be talking. I'll PM you if anything comes up - you do the same! John

LOL! Today I let 10 new pullets (about 3 weeks old) in with my BR hens. The hens never batted an eyebrow as the little pullets went flying over and under them. My big girls are soooo understanding!

RaZ - you are doing some great things for children as you teach them about nature! Thank you for doing that. It will be a better world because you took the time to teach kids!

Several years ago, some dear friends from Texas had this to say. It was about playing a game that we enjoyed where players needed to heed the rules. What they said was that experienced players had a duty to share what they knew. They asked that us "old dogs" share what we knew. What we learned. What we missed.

The words were, "Each one, Teach one".

If I were ever to pray, this would be my mantra.

Everyone please do not skim over my post. We are really curious. I dont mind keeping this sweet bunny, but if she has a legit owner who lost her- well, they deserve her back.
Do you know what the ear tattoo means? 

4-h meat rabbits have tattoos. I think they're white though.

[COLOR=800000]I need some help in naming my coop. It's an old hunting shack. Which ever name I pick I will send the name creator a set of chicken aprons. So help me out, here's the picture of it again there will be some changes to it soon I am going to paint it a nice soft shade of blue for the sky the window will have a flower box my daughter and I will be painting some funky chickens all around it. I can't wait for the weather to change up here so I can get my butt outside and work on my yard! This used to be called the "Love Shack", and no I had nothing to do with that name, hehehe[/COLOR]

Fowl Prowl. Hunting makes me think of prowling. I keep trying to think of hunting theme names and I'm still trying to rhyme something poultry related with Stealth.

Raz that is an awesome motto. I am going to share that with some people who are not acting very respectfully or accepting to those who are new to an activity.

Post a picture of your rooster d'uccle baby. I'd like to compare with mine. Pretty please.

My camera needs batteries! I can try to get it to work again, but..... he is a buff color, and i'm reeeeealy hoping all the buff ones weren't roos, cause they all look alike.... (his little comb is getting red)

So, no comment on my 2 eggs in a day chicken? Has this happened to you people before?

Our "mean red hen" we are caring for, does this sometimes. She's of a type that was bred for commercial laying. ("production red", red body with white tips on tail) jumbo eggs, too. when you can find them.......


Birds..... our bluebirds haven't gone south, 2 years in a row. If they went somewhere at all, it was only for a month, tops. The chickadee pics made me a bit sad. While doing my cross-country ride out to the chickens the other day i came across one that had been hit by a car and was not dead. All i could do was make him comfortable, he had internal injuries. I hate that.
