Looks like Blue eye Polish, I assume it's very small.

THANKS!!! I looked up the Blue Eyed Polish and are they ever tiny! small ears! cool! that would have made my FIL very happy... hes from Poland... he was pretty upset when I traded the polish chickens i had because they wernt really producing and I had to part with some breeds..... LOL.

but I did just figure out what she is... I've never heard of them before and now wonder if I could get a buck and maybe some more... see this is where rabbit math comes into play... LOL they were developed in the early 1900's in France as a dual purpose meat and fur rabbit! YEEEEHAAAAA. I guess your all wondering what breed she is eh? okay okay... LOL.

Blanc De Hotot.

they are a heritage breed and The Livestock Conservancy lists them as threatened, globally endangered and they ALMOST went extinct during WW2. Im very interested in breeding these bunnies and doing my part to conserve them. I'm guna have to post a want add...

My boss's daughter breeds bunnies. She had about 8 months ago brought in a couple that looked identical to yours to put up for adoption. I will ask her if she still has them and if she has any for sale :wink:

I had to look up Calvados... An apple brandy almost exclusively distilled in Normandy. Cool... sounds expensive LOL. Well when I still drank I usually went for the cheap stuff.
