We are starting to raise netherland dwarf rabbits. Since they are being raised by our daughter with a disability, they will winter in the basement. The largest I can see the herd getting is a couple or three does and a buck.
I am torn between building wooden/wire hutches, and ordering all...
I have some pieces of welded wire with 2" X4" hole in it. I might be able to just tyrap the ends together to make a circle and fill it full of hay, so they can eat through the holes
Thank-you all for the ideas and pictures. I like the hay rack idea, a place to put the whole bale. I hadn't even thought about that. I was thinking about filling it daily.
I like the idea of the 20X20 pen. I will have to give that some thought. I was thinking green house hoops, wit...
Does anyone keep their geese inside for the winter? or inside, and letting them out sometimes? Does anyone have any good plans for a hay rack for geese?
Yes, I did a search first, but I didn't find what I was looking for. I am purchasing a trio of Pilgrim Geese in the spring. They will only be goslings. However, I want to make sure that I have all the things I need for them by the time they grow up.
I need to keep these geese confined. I...
I am working at learning to show silkies. I have been breeding them now for a few years, and have been studying and working, hatching and showing. I am looking for contact information for shorty polston, because I am hoping I might be able to learn about silkies from him. Does anyone know how...
Would a rabbit cage like this be suitable for keeping single males? or for a few quail? It is just that I see them advertised by people getting rid of rabbits for next to nothing ( 5- 15 $) I was thinking that they might work. If the plastic part broke, I would just build a plywood base the...
Well, I found a way to by the kindle book from amazon. It does have lots of information. I didn't see anything about housing the quail, no pictures of pens, or how to build them......... No mention of linebreeding, or selective breeding. It was worth the price I paid for it, but there sure...
Part of my reason for raising quail is to research line breeding. I have some charts, but then people say don't use charts, then there are some other plans, but I don't know how to know what works and what doesn't. I thought I could try some of them out with the quail, since they reproduce...
For feed choices locally, I can find: 30% game starter, 19% flight conditioner, and 20% layer/breeder.
The starter is recommended from 1-6 weeks. The layer is recommended to feed birds from 2 weeks before laying. I don't know what the flight conditioner is for., but it says 6-16 weeks...
