A Feminine Flemish

 

 

Last week we picked up this pretty gray Flemish giant. So should be have some baby flemish giants in a few months. I can't wait

Meet the Giants

        I picked up two six month old male Flemish giants a few days ago. They are not full grown yet as males don't reach there full size until they are about a year and a half old. Flemish Giants come in many different colors these guys are white. I am hoping to get a female so I can breed them. My younger brother and sister love them and have named them Salt and Cloud.

   

Starring Elvis and Kits

 

    Well after much debating about what to post about with lots of great pics and stories to tell, seeing how I haven't blogged in ages, this is it. Been busy with work, shearing, fishing, and collecting. But in the end cuteness wins.
 The baby bunnies eyes are open now and they are just adorable. I didn't have good pictures of dad, who we have now named Elvis. So I am including a few pictures of him. Honey's babies didn't make it but Pepper had three survive. Two are dark brown and one is the dads buff color. They are pure bred Lionheads can't wait to see how they develop.

Male Lion head

      My two does had bunnies this week. My mini lop Honey had six and my Lionhead Pepper had five. The father of both litters is buff lionhead (I really need to get some better pictures of him). All of the babies should be very friendly as we handle them from the time they are a few days old. I will be selling all of the mini lop lionhead crosses when they are ready to go in about 6 weeks and some of the pure Lionheads asking ten each for the crosses and fifteen each for the purebreds. I have not raised any bunnies from this Lionhead but her mother gave me many nice ones.

Some Changes

     Well we have made some subtractions and additions to our farm. We sold four of our goats including two of our older ones: our buck Jasper and our first time freshener Clover. She was milking great out of one side but the other side was giving barely anything.
  We also sold our two mixed kids that were born this year, one of my Lionhead rabbits and a Light Brahma rooster. I picked up eight Sumatra and Sumatra cross chicks. I also got a Dominque cross rooster.
 Yesterday after a few months of searching I found a male Lionhead rabbit. So hopefully will have baby rabbits in a month or so.
 My Americana hen is also sitting on about 15 eggs that should hatch this weekend.
