He guys! I already posted this over on BYH, but there it is usually pretty slow over there and I have been having better luck with some of my rabbit related queries over here. I keep a small herd of meat rabbits to supply my family with inexpensive and healthy meat, and myself with furs for...

Ok, my doe had 12 kits in her nestbox. One I was very concerned about because it was really runty was not there when I went out to check! Gone. Not a trace. Vanished. Did Wendy eat her baby?!? I've had does do that, but usually only moments after they are born... and usually you will find...

I am actively working on making my double lot yard in town as self-sufficient as possible. I have laying hens, rabbits, a nice garden, edible landscape plants, and a fodder growing system so far. Next I plan to add muscovy ducks. I have chosen muscovy ducks because they are supposed to be...

My big Flemmish Giant doe, Wendy, gave birth to thirteen bunnies last night! Unfortunately, one of them was DOA, but still... that's 12 baby bunnies!!!! :eek::celebrate:eek::celebrate:eek::celebrate:eek: :wee:wee :bun:bun:bun:bun:bun:bun:bun:bun:bun:bun:bun:bun I forgot to take my phone out...

Even with the recent cold weather and shorter days my girls continue to supply me with an over abundance or fresh eggs. I currently have five cartons in my fridge and they just keep coming! Soooo... I was thinking about making some pickled eggs! Do any of y'all have a favorite pickled egg...

Right now I am feeding my rabbits MannaPro 18%, mixed Grass hay, and black oil sunflower seeds. This last spring and summer I fed lots of cut and carry grass and weeds as well. I also keep them supplied with willow and crabapple sticks. I am planning on building a fodder growing system in the...

I have a small herd of meat mutt rabbits that I have accumulated to provide my family with meat and myself with pelts for sewing and craft projects. They are quite a colorful lot! Now, I know horse, cattle, and Icelandic sheep color genetics backwards, forwards, up and down... But I'm still...

I got angry at my internet provider and was without internet for several months. Did I miss anything awesome?!? Did kikisgirls ever mange to hatch balot eggs?!? To those who don't know me, my name is Gypsy (or GG), and I live in Ozark Mo. I have a small backyard flock of Australorps and...

Hey guys! I purchased 5 barred rocks and 5 australorps from TSC on April 12th. This is my first chick experience, so it is my first time trying to determine genders. I think they were between 1-1/2 and 2 weeks old when I brought them home, but I'm not 100% sure. I have a pretty good guess...

I use the mobile app on my phone; today the app keeps shutting itself down and requiring me to restart it and complete four or five recaptchas to prove I'm not a robot. I only have my phone available to me at this time, so I can't check it on other devices to see if the problem extends beyond...

I have been in love with the idea of Egg-Mobiles ever since I first saw a YouTube video of Joel Salatin's laying hen setup on Polyface Farm. I just discovered five acres of nice level but overgrazed pasture that is available on a reasonable rent-to-own option. I am trying to crunch the numbers...

I purchased some mixed run barred rocks and autralorps at Tractor Supply on Thursday. I am assuming based on their size and feather development that they range in age between 1-1/2 and 2 weeks old. I have been perusing around here for a few hours and I've noticed lots of pics of people...
