HAHA what a good memory!! Only I am the grandmom...Dixiebeast's Mom... and I enjoyed meeting you! And God yes...Jesse sooo wanted that rabbit...you were so kind to let him carry it ALL over the place! Geez I could just imagine $300 hopping away down the bunny trail that day!

And mean ol momma said NO!! To all of them...but he had just gotten a sweet bunny!! And now he is into chickens some with me...he likes the lil round ball ones he calls them(cochins) and ameraucanas!!
 
Holy cow people sell bunnies for that much! :eek:

I would pay up to 60. Are they priced like that at the show?

Zip is cute.

I think my rabbit died after eating too rich of food. It was eating a ton of this fancy alfalfa right before it got sick.

bunnies go for a lot more than $300!

I am bringing Suede and Zippity. Zippity will go as a pet (for free to you, or probably $20 to people i don't know). Suede is a blue lionhead buck from great lines. Not show quality (although he did show a few times as a young junior and did well) anymore but may produce well. He is small...about 2lbs. Not much mane, he dropped it and hasn't grown it back yet (and probably will never have a huge one, just a small one).

Zippity fell out of the cage when he was a day or two old....got stolen by my cats and taken to the living room (they were in the laundry room in a cage). Laid there for an hour before I found him (kept hearing crying but thought it was something else) cold and half dead. Put him back, he fell out again the next day. Then he got himself wedged partway through the cage divider into the neighboring doe's cage....TWICE. He is lucky she didn't kill him. I had to cut him out of the wire

He had trouble nursing, so I used to hold his mom on her back in my lap and let him nurse every day, until he was a couple weeks old. So he is friendly. I was going to keep him but need another pet like I need a hole in my head.

He turned into a sweet little guy but his mom was not the best quality doe (she is retired from breeding and now in a pet home with another byc person!) and so he is not as nice as my other two siamese sable bucks. So he needs to go to a pet home.

You can find the pet version of almost any breed for about $60. If you wanted show or breeder quality, it could be within there or up to a few hundred. Probably nothing more expensive than a couple hundred at this show.

That is so nice of you to offer this li'l guy to her for free because of her loss recently...but of course thats the nature of NellaBean! Heck...he's making me want to put the cat out and let him live free inside with me! I bet he would go right to the litter box! Sounds like he was raised so far with a lot of "hands on" due to his "excusions"...
 
Ok I need advice. I moved my OEGB pair to their new coop this afternoon. They've been staying in the barn up until this point. They were FINE when I left at 4:30. Now, I get home and go check on them...the roo is fine but Dasiy my pullet can't walk. She just kicks her legs back. I brought her in and am keeping her in a dog kennel. I mean she has NEVER acted at all sick. She's a frisky little thing. There is a big temperature difference from where they were staying to the coop they're in now. Could she just be too cold?? I'm freaking out because they are some of the only chickens I have my DH actually likes. She seems alert and everything. She was shaking and breathing kind of hard when I first brought her in. Now she seems to have calmed down as far as the shaking and breathing goes but if I try to stand her up, her legs just kick back.

Hey, all! I went to the Heritage Poultry Intensive Workshop today. It was awesome! I learned so much. I hope to host one in the spring. Well worth the money I think. The man who runs them is a poultry judge. He's judging the Barnwell show on Saturday. His name is Jim if you see him! It was really cool although a long day and in a cold barn. My shoulders were bunched up and cramping by lunch from being cold. I encouraged a few people to come by our thread. We'll see!

Were they put in with other (bigger) chickens? If so, I would worry that someone had hurt her, like maybe a big rooster. Otherwise, I'm not sure but I would keep her warm and make sure she eats and drinks.

On second thought, how old is she? Look up the symptoms of marek's disease. Here's one link with some info:

Nope they were by themselves..She is eating. I scrambled her an egg and she went to town on it. She just started laying I'd say in October..but I'm not sure exactly how old she is.
