    The Harlequins are here!!!!

    I'm thrilled that you like your Harlequins!!! Andrea (the lady you got the buck from) and I were talking about the ability for non-showable Harlequins producing stellar Show stock this weekend. The doe that produced Foxy(that amazing Harlequin she was showing on Sunday!) has an all black face...

    Mini Satins

    Well crap! I found a lovely Mini Satin Buck and my step daughter was looking into breeding them.... :shock: The buck is really lovely!! Finding a doe with the lovely temperament sounds like it might be a bit harder than I thought!

    Why is REW more accepted in the rabbit community??

    I am a big fan of BEW (My next breed will be Beverens) THat being said... I hate the Vienna Gene as it shows up a lot in my Magpie Harlequins!!!! Although not a DQ, I need to cull hard for it regularly.

    Well Hurricane Harvey has been a trip.....

    The City of Windsor did get hit with a very slow moving thunderstorm cell over the last couple of days and we had record rainfall and flooding. (Nothing sever in the county) But yes, I think a solid evac plan for anyone with livestock should be part of your first aide kit. I am working mine up...

    Well Hurricane Harvey has been a trip.....

    Praying for all those effected!! I had a good sit down, think about regarding evacuation. I figured I would only be able to take about 20 rabbits.... that is not every bunny. Doing a sold evac. plan will be on list of things to do this week, as I feel that I would need to leave half my...

    Weaning style survey

    I have mostly 30x24 or 36x24 or 24x24 cages in towers.... I leave the kits and mom together for as long as I can. Mom will be re-bred no earlier than 2 week after kindling.... (after considering the does' condition and grow-out space) My last breeding, I miscalculated the birthday and butcher...

    New Title: In Indy

    I've only been breeding and showing for 3 years, so I don't feel I have the Rabbits for the "big" show! Also, I'd have to plan vacation time around a show like that!! (I already have all my vacation stuff planned for 2017 and my hubby isn't really a rabbit person, so he wouldn't be interested...

    Anyone know how Etsy works

    I know nothing about Etsy.... but I love some of the suggestions you have gotten!! I would like to add a personal experience in trying to make a local market for my pasture raised chicken. I have been a member of a small local farmer's market for 3 years. The first year I did 10 weeks at the...

    Watering

    I'm currently working on a 5 gallon pail with a float... hooked to a garden hose in the hay loft... gravity fed... Running tubing to cages with nipples.... a couple of concerns that keep stalling me... The amount of tubing is insane!! (good thing it is only 0.35 a foot) the nipples were...

    New Set Up!

    I LOVE YOUR SET-UP!! I have 4 wooden "hang on the outside of the cage" nest boxes that I use in the winter and I think they are great!! Mama rabbits look much more relaxed with the kits "hidden" and not in the cage. My space isn't climate controlled, so in the summer I use the open topped...

    Plantago (sp) and Coccidiosis

    I have been occasionally supplementing my rabbits with weeds and alum based veggies (onion, chives, garlic) I need to get serious and start drying weeds for the rabbits and get more serious on supplementing ...... it will help in many areas....

    Aquisition: Rex

    Ferra I was going to second all those opinions on those rabbits!! We have a great bunch of Rex breeders in the Michigan area and I live just across the boarder in Canada. (I hang with the Rex people at shows, but I show Magpie Harlequin) The ARBA nationals are in Indianapolis this year so...

    Exercising my right brain again

    OK... so not my best work... but I had fun and the Magpie Harlequin turned out like all Magpie Harlequins do.... one flaw that makes them not quite perfect markings....lol :lol: (I realized after I was all done that the feet don't alternate.... Anyone who breeds Harlequin knows how common an...
