San Diego Chicken meetup and Chat thread

One of the reasons I love talking to Elara so much! We need more funny people in this world!!!

I'm (as) speechless (as I get). I think I'll be smiling for the rest of the day, and thank you. I do accounting and HR, so this is the only chance I get to talk to real people who don't want to throw things at me (other than kittens).

Thanks again to all of you for your kindness.

I have some EE's that were so hairy they looked like little lions when they were born... the only difference now is that they have HUGE beards and muffs.

They are very cute.

I know the real reason you like talking to me, Cari, is that you could suggest an elephant farm co-op and my response would probably be, "Where do I sign? Where do I send the check? Can I buy two shares? When do we start making elephant poop paper products and selling them on eBay? Can I help shovel?"

Hey guys I need a little help... please read....

As everyone knows I raise rabbits... well I found an ad saying someone had meat rabbits and were getting out of the meat rabbit business and giving away their entire set-up. So I'm thinking cool, I'll get a couple more rabbits and cages etc... So I contacted them and started emailing back and forth, come to find out it was a really old man and he was extremely concerned that the rabbits went into good hands... Well I get there and the poor guy is like 95 years old and going in for heart surgery, from the way he was talking it didn't sound like he thought he was going to make it out. So we go out back to see his "meat rabbit" set-up and what do I find but a bunch of Netherland Dwarf and Mini Rex crosses and a couple angoras. NOT meat rabbits BY ANY MEANS. I mean these things are teeny tiny and CUTE and extremely friendly. The guy's failing health didn't allow him to keep up with them and so they were in filthy cages etc... I felt SO bad for the guy, you could totally tell he loved his rabbits and didn't want to get rid of them but didn't have a choice. Poor guy. Anyway, I talked to him for a bit and I ended up taking all the bunnies. At this point I am considering them rescues and I need to place them in good homes. If you know anyone looking for cute little friendly bunnies please give them my contact info and/ or let me know. I have about 25 of them with the babies and supposedly one more is pregnant.


Anything anyone could do will help!

Thank you!!!

You could try bunny poop paper. Anyone have any extra rabbit manure around? (ha)

By the way, are you feeding all of these mouths on your own? If this is a rescue project, and if you are feeding them to be kind, you can put us down for $20 toward food, and we'll give it to you when we do our pick up. That's probably only 1.5 days in Bunny World of Jamul, but...

It's a good thing you're doing. Maybe this will get you out of "I've-been-paving-the-newbie-road-to-chicken-ruin" purgatory.

Oh my gosh! I thought that was a joke! Maybe we can learn how to make chicken poopaper then we could do poopaper origami at the next meetup.. Oh or have chicken poopaper raffle tickets.

Cari, I can just see the little guy in the last picture talking in a tiny squeaky voice saying "Pweez take me home" lol
Maybe you can bring them all over, let them mow the lawn, then maybe ask my DH if we can have them! It might work, gets him outta mowing and how can he resist those wittle faces?

edited to say: OR... I could just sneak them in on Easter morning in the baskets! Um uh.... that dang Easter Bunny!!!
