I\'m looking for a couple pullets, blue or black, in NY. I can drive to Syracuse or Buffalo to pick them up. Will be going to rabbit shows in Sept in Cobbleskil, Hamburg and Morrisville if anyone has any? Looking for older healthy stock, since I am so not up to brooding another batch this year!
I\'m pretty sure there is a Roo left out there, so I think I\'m good, But I may need a Roo if the last black or Splash are not Roos. Can you tell at 6 weeks what they are? Any tips?
And I do have a culling question, would you cull a nasty bird? I have one that I had to toss out of the pen, it was attacking the other birds, I hardly have enough left to do anything with and it managed to blind one of the few remaining blues! Should I cull the blinded one? I cleaned its eyes, they were crusted shut with blood, but should I give it a couple days to see if it recovers?
How long do you give \"unthrifty\" birds to recover? Normally I would have culled them, but there are so few of them left now I hestitate.
Thanks!
Dawn
