WAFFLES!!!!! And a bunch of Miniature Waffles!!!!! Stop choking Waffles, you big brute! LOL!

Stupid Question: He's much lighter than most I've seen, is that due to being a juvenile and he'll get darker or is it just the way he is?

LOL! I always make sure to tell people I'm not choking them, I just have my thumb under thier chin and my middle finger behind thier head to teach them to pose in an alert position. It always looks like I have them in a choke hold.
Not a stupid question really because color is an important part of this breed. They do get darker as they get older, you can see the darker color coming in on the arch of his back. They are supposed to have a nice red-ish color popping out from under wavy black ticking. A lot of people have brough in imported hares and they have different colors over there and don't care about not breeding one color to the other (which messes up the color) and those hares are way way too dark. I had a Croatian doe who was very nice, but by the time she hit 1.5yrs old she was way too dark. He is going to have nice color to him...here's a picture of one of my older Jr does who has got an incredible red "glow" to her. She looks darker then she is because of the shadow cast on her back...

Carpet is the one and only direct descendant of Satan himself.

unless you get the color that hides the dirt LOL

Had to share....my son (Aaron) is going to be turning 2 yrs old next week and we're having his birthday party tomorrow. I cheated this year and used a mold to make his cake...but it was too cool not to use! It's a bird, it's a plane, NO! it's Superman!!! (and much help from my daughter Hannah)

Does anyone know what might be wrong with this chick? It's been doing this for about a day now......I'm not so worried about the chick (cuz it's just one chick) but I'm worried about it possibly infecting my bigger girls.....it's got a cough or a sneeze thing going on???? I started a thread over in emergencies/diseases and gotten no real response.

What a cute little splash chick. Is it a Marans ?? It sure looks like one.

I am going with not a clue... Sure is breathing heavy though isn't it. How's it poo looking? Eating, drinking, etc...

yep....splash marans....about 2.5 weeks old I think. We picked it (and a cuckoo and a black copper) up last Saturday and this one has been sneezing or whatever since yesterday. The other 2 are in the brooder with it and I haven't noticed anything with them yet, but I'm still uneasy......Dr. Google doesn't help things either.

But it seemed healthy when you got it? I'd ask the people you got it from if they have anything going on over there... Is it acting lethargic also?
