At the beginning
of each year (this time from the 17th to the 21st of January), in the heart of
Carouge, at Place de Sardaigne, the animals of the farmyard are the guests of
honour at the exhibition of poultry farming, rabbit breeding and pigeon
fancying.
It was a
grey, rainy, chilly day, but I wouldn’t have missed it for
the world. I am very excited to share my visit to the exhibition with
everyone.
Place de la
Sardaigne where the exhibition takes place.
Every year the
exhibition welcomes more than 800 animals and one can buy these cute creatures
at affordable prices. Chickens, rabbits, geese, pigeons and even cows and horses represent the animals of the farmyard.
I learned a few
things about the origin and breeds of rabbits: Lapin Feu, Lapin Chamois de
Thuringe, Lapin Blanc de Hotot, Lapin Doré de Saxe…

Have you ever seen
a black swan? Did you know they exist? Here is a beautiful black swan. They
originally come from Australia.
