Luxton and life

So Luxton Fair was a great success. I took all my "other" breeds of chickens and some ducks and put them on display. I managed to sell every single chicken I took except for 2 that I thought I was going to keep(not a breed I want to breed/show) and now have someone coming to pick up those 2 girls on Saturday!

Which just leaves me with my silkies, which is the breed I want to raise : ) Then of course all my ducks in many breeds- Cayugas, Pekins, White calls, Silver Appleyard, Buff Orpington and I think that is it. Oh and I have a Khaki Campbell as well ;)

We also sold 3 nice Mini lops to Tara Grunwald in Sooke, and a French lop Jr doe. We also sold a Cavy as a show/breeding boar when he is ready to go. And hopefully have some more sold when they are ready to go!

I am trying to cut back on some cavies as I only have 4 big cages "designated" for cavies and I am into rabbit holes( X many!) so I need to cut back. I am considering parting with Just Hoppin's Charles who has a Best in Show win at a very small local show. Beautiful boar in breeding coat. Has produced terrific kids that I am keeping otherwise he would NOT be for sale. I also have a Kelly Gilmore boar and sow to part with(nice pigs!) and others! Many babies! I would like to get down to about 6 adults so I can keep some babies... I want to keep my Black boar, Roan sow, a Red/White sow, a TSW sow and Boar and 1-2 of my current babies... So the others are all available. :- )

I also non-rabbit related have a couple of young(baby) Silkie roosters, and some Black Cochin and Barred Rock chicks for sale.

We are planning a couple of quiet days. Tomorrow we are going to ship a rabbit to Terrace, and possibly pick up a rabbit cage in Nanaimo that someone is selling if not already sold. Try to get the chicken run completely finished and work in the barns!

I want to get some does bred tomorrow too. Babies are beginning to bounce around the cages- looking super cute!
