Sparrow's Rest Rabbitry & Roost

The boys were so sad to see their birds head to a new home this morning, but we are so thankful to know that they are in good hands with Deere Run Ag.

*For those that don't know, we will be moving in January for work, and we will only be allowed to take 4 hens and the rabbits with us. It will be a big change for us all.

Reorganizing happening in the animal houses before winter hits. Keep your eyes open for available rabbits, ducks, and chickens.

My little apple helper... Daddy and the boys collected 5 bushels of apples - lots of apple sauce, butter and pie filling.

Pumpkin harvest day! The kids are quite proud of the giant pumpkins.

Around here late summer means mushroom hikes. The kids were thrilled to find a giant chanterelle hiding place this year. A bushel, cleaned, split, dried in the sun for a couple of days, and stored in 2 half gallon jars so we have mushrooms all winter.

Did you know that mushrooms are a great source of vitamin D, and that the level of vitamin D increases when dried in the sun? Perfect for adding to so many things through the gray Pennsylvania winter.

16 Muscovy fluffies up for discussion. The males were both lilac pied and the other contributing egg layer not pictured is black pied.

07/10/2023

We have Muscovy babies. The ducks belong to the 5 year old, and he is over the top excited. This is the first clutch we have let them hatch in the two years that we have had them, so it's a big day here at Sparrow's Rest Rabbitry & Roost.

Lynx and Lilac Otter Rex (not mini). Full pedigree but not strong for showing (all have small/tight shoulders). All handled by kids regularly and would make nice pets or starter meat. PM for details.

Dove's and Pigeon's 9 (two were fostered to Kesie and we lost one teeny tiny one). More colors than I expected in this litter. Don't worry, they have eyes too ☺️

05/20/2023

Kesie and Peregrine's 7+2 fosters are also up and exploring with their eyes wide open.

Wren and Pigeon's litter. All 7 are doing well and have their eyes open.

Deathlayer peeps to start the week. Special thanks to Deere Run Ag for these babies to add to our flock.

05/05/2023

The beginning of the week brought baby bunnies. The end of the week, baby chicks. Black Copper Marans chicks from extra dark egg laying lines. Looking forward to being able to offer some of these guys next season.

05/02/2023

Our last litter came early this morning. Kesie (paired with Peregrine) decided that she didn't want them in the nesting box which I'm not too pleased with, but it looks like there are 7 in her litter with a range of "gray" colors from light to black.

05/01/2023

Litter #2 has some brokens in it. Wren (paired with Pigeon) had 6 or 7 this afternoon too. One more to go.

05/01/2023

Our first litter due today is here! Dove (who is paired with Pigeon) had her first litter this afternoon. I think there are 9 or 10 in there, but I didn't want to mess too much. Our biggest litter ever for this first time mama.
