Thanks everyone! sorry it took me so long to display.. was rather busy the last few days. We had some from McMurray at the start of the season.. and to say the least the raccoons got to enjoy them before we got to :(. Only thing we are unsure about with McMurray is the prices are a little more...

Thanks. I will look into them :-). Last year we just got what came into our local thesiens.. and then via a post on craigslist got some more :)

Thanks, only place we really have around here is a Thesiens, though there is a blains farm and fleet about 40 miles from here. Might have to look into that.

So, I am not sure where i should ask this. I did just ask this in the duck area but i also looking for more chickens :) we are looking to replace some of our older chickens who are pretty much done laying. Where would you recommend getting some chickens at? we live in Iowa so the weather pretty...

So about a month ago, i don't have the paper in front of me to no the actual date. we bred our little dwarf rabbit. she began pulling fur and made a huge nest a couple days ago. Any idea how much longer it could be? I am going crazy waiting. :)

Thanks, Ill see if i can find it. using my phone on here right now harder to flip through pages :)

Ok.. we decided its time to start stocking up on medicines and vitamins around for our animals. So here it goes. What all do you guys keep on hand or use regularly? We are thinking about just doing one or two large orders for now so we are prepared. With nothing that close to us we figure its...

I wonder if we could take him down. His daughter I know will def need help. I on the other hand have been considering putting a chain on his leg so he can only go so far lol then letting him go when I am not gonna be around. :)
