I am sad to say the reason i was late on sunday is becouse our Holland Lop Rabbit past away saterday night or sunday morning.

I dont know what happen, i miss him, he had got out of his cage the day of the fire and survived, maybe he had lung damange from it .

So if any one knows of any Rabbits for sale or looking for new homes for any, let me know please, Thanks.

a lot of peaple dont really mind,- if the eggs are on the outside of the cages( that is what i meant to say) i tell you the very first show that i went to i brought my nephew and niece, next thing i know they showed me a bunch of eggs in the car, i said where did you get them, and they said ummmm from chickens, i sadi ok smart *ss, they took them from all the chickens in show, brats.
They did stick there arms into the cages, they grabbed eggs thatwere on the sides or on the floor.
and thye do know now not even do that.

Edited to correct my choice of words.

IT IS WRONG TO TAKE EGGS FROM ANY CAGE, IT IS WRONG TO OPEN ANY CAGE UNLESS YOU ARE A JUDGE.

I KNOW THIS. My choice of words was wrong, But know this I did not have them do it nor will i ever.

i yelled aty them, but then when we got home i incubated them and not 1 was fetile at all. lol i loughd at them for that.

a lot of showers dont breed there show Q, becouse of breakage of the feathers on the hens.

Wow... I never would have thought of taking eggs.. I think in the side where they were selling a kid was sticking his hand in a cage to hold a chicken... I don't think he was with the seller either... amazing world we share

I understand the reasoning but thats too bad since some of the nicest birds are not being bred. I guess they breed them after they are done showing them?

If I had the courage to ask I would have said ..Can I grab that egg..and that one ....and that one ..........LOL

Yep they breed after, they get to see if they are show q, then breed, some breed and just watch the feathering ( That would be me) LOL
Then some breed once then take away the male, so they dont keep ruining the feathers.

Does anyone know who won the cornish bantams? I saw the pictures and it looked like Best and Reserve AOCCL were cornish, just wondering if anyone knew who's birds they were
