Last month I was privileged to obtain some beautiful French Angora rabbits from a friend. She was a past customer of mine and asked me if I would be interested in the remaining of her small herd. I happily acquired 2 bucks and 2 French Angora does from her. One of the bucks is one I had bred and one of the does is a daughter of another buck I had sold her.
I was able to breed Blossom Acres' Forget-Me-Not to Mouse, as well as Forget-Me-Not to a broken chestnut doe. Mouse has in the past given me an extremely hard time and has never taken when I bred her. I guess Forget-Me-Not did the trick because 31 days later she gave me this beautiful litter:
It looks like I have 1 black, 2 chestnut, and 3 blues. I was very surprised as I did not know she carried the dilution gene! This is her very first litter and so far she has been a good mom. I can't wait to watch these kits mature as I think they will be competitive on the show table.
I have another doe bred to Forget-Me-Not and she is due in a few days, so please check the website for updates!
While I went north to pick these guys up, I also acquired a few purebred Narragansett turkey poults. If all goes as planned, I will be offering some purebred poults and breeding stock in the near future!
Thank you all for your patience in my blog absence. I will try to continue posting more frequently so please visiting our blog for updates!
Have a great weekend!
