I don't mind, Shay. She's a pet for us. It'll be interesting to see how she grows up.

If I remember correctly, the red Cochin and was on the end of the row, on the side at the center of the hall ( across from where the grand champions, raffle, etc. were). As you face him, you are also looking at the food court (several rows behind). There was also a brown/red pullet to the left, I think.

Thanks for the info on the big rooster. He was ginormous!

the blue rooster looks like a langshen to me

the big blue rooster is a blue langshan

So sorry to hear about the loss of your bunny. They are like our kids and I know it is very hard!
I also am not sure where you are Shay20, or if you will want another lop baby, but I have one Holland Lop buck left. He was born on 10/18/09. He is on his way to being litter box trained in with mom. Full pedigree available if you want. Let me know if you may be interested. I have had many with interest but no takers yet.

Shay,
I am so sorry to hear the rabbit passed away.
unfortunately where he was in/ around the smoke from the fire, yes it definately was a factor in his passing away.
Rabbit lungs are so small and over worked compared to ours, their ability to shake off the damage from smoke inhalation is very tiny.
One reason he lived so long after the fire is because he was outside in the fresh air. Had he been inside you would have lost him way before this.
How do I know, well I had the same issue with rabbits caught in a house fire. 3 rabbits, one doe on a litter, 3-4 months after the fire all passed away due to smoke inhalation. ( necropsy done by the vet).
The smoke scars the lungs in a way not common to normal smoke inhalation. more like tiny abcesses.
I know this is likely more information than anyone cares to hear/ see but its important in understanding what happens to rabbits who have been in a fire.

You can read about Sky Rider here at my website,
I havent updated in a very long time but the story of Sky remains the same.
