I'd "snatch" them in a heart beat, Dood.....LOL. Too bad you're not closer.
NZW's and Californians......plus a new breed added this year. I just
realized....I don't have a single pic of my Cals. Gonna have to fix that.
This is my "Sweet-16" litter. 16 born and mama kept them alive for 48 hours.
I then culled the two smallest and she kept the 14 alive. One got out on
the wire and chilled=13 left. And one just flat disappeared!=12 left.
Unfortunately, this doe was a "flash-in-the-pan" and never came close to
my expectations. She ended up taking a trip on the "Snake-Train".
As did the two of her daughter's I saved back. DUDS!! I had High-Hopes
for this group. Oh well, such is life.
My new additions...REALLY like these. Pedigreed American Chinchillas.
I searched for two years before I finally found some "relatively" close.
440 mile round-trip.....It that's close.
I'm going to start phasing out the Californians and just buy a pair of Cal
bucks every few years. They're a great cross for market fryers, but the
Cal does fall short on litter numbers. I can use the cage space for better
production with the NZW does and chin crosses.
