    Freezing weather (in teens!!!)

    I have no comment on ducks, but for chickens - don’t do anything at all. Unless you have specific non-cold hardy breeds, they will be fine. Keep the water thawed (maybe with a base heater). If you have heating on the water then don’t keep it in a confined coop area as the moisture will dampen...

    What are your homesteading goals for the year?

    Cucumbers can be tricky. Some years we get great yeilds and others they all get powdery mildew. I suggest you get some Mexican sour gherkin seeds. They aren’t sour they’re cute, delicious, and easy to grow. They taste a bit like cucumbers but are hardier.

    What are your homesteading goals for the year?

    That’s awesome! Perineals really are the way to go. 100%. I am also expanding my raised beds. I tried for years to get my blackberries going and failed until I put them into raised beds. Now they’re giants. I also ordered like 5-6 herbal tea flower plants. So I’m hoping to have a little tea...

    What are your homesteading goals for the year?

    Mine are to raise more meat chickens, to not have to buy vegetables for a few months out of the year, keep up egg production, raise my first grain for bread making, bee better at harvesting my bee’s honey, be more efficient with the compost from the rabbitry, and can/freeze more from the garden...

    Keepsake ideas from passed chicken ideas?

    I’m so sorry to hear this. ❤️❤️I’m sure she knew she was loved. One of my favorite things to do with kids around is to take a shed tail feather and snip a bit off the inner point. Then you dip it into an ink well and have your own reusable feather pen. Maybe that could be a keepsake?

    The Bunny Chat Thread - For Bunny Owners

    Hi guys! Long time, no bunny chat! I am a Holland lop breeder and am considering two new does: white and harlequin. Would those colors be dominant or recessive to my broken sable point buck? Thanks!!

    Rabbit Peeps Color Question!

    I breed show pedigreed Holland lops and am considering a purchase between two does. One is harlequin and one is brown eyed white. They would be bred to my broken sable point buck. Then bred to the progeny of that buck and my self black doe. Does anyone know if white would be dominant or...

    GLW Cockerel or Pullet?

    Maybe an unpopular opinion, but mature roosters that you already know are good boys are (to me) a much better bet than raising your own and hoping for the best. You may be better off!

    I’ve seen that color in chicks before that turned brown. I hope they stay blue! She’s a cutie!

    2 hens or no?

    Those combs are very big and red for 3 months for a female. I agree that you might be looking at males. I’m not sure though

    Confirm that this is a cream legbar?

    Sooo interesting! Yes, she is from a rainbow pack - Meyer Hatchery. I didn’t think they used mixed in the packs, but if they’re calling her an EE, then that makes sense! Thank you all!

    Confirm that this is a cream legbar?

    I am 99% sure my pullet is a cream legbar, but her pantaloons are so light colored that she’s unlike those I’ve had in the past. Is she a mix or just poor quality? Thanks!
