    Rabbits?

    HI, Is this the best place to ask about rabbits here? Did Nifty ever setup a separate place for Rabbits? I have a Rex Castor buck that I was thinking about breading to a Californian doe. Is this a good idea for meat rabbits or should I stick with one bread? Thanks Jamie

    Straight razor for dispatching meat birds?

    Quote: Yes. "once I have a knife sharpened properly, it takes about as much effort to cut a head clean off as it does to cut through a carrot" Although, I think they pick much easier if you let them bleed as opposed to taking the head clean off. Jamie

    How deep does the water need to be for drinking?

    Hi, I'm new to ducks. I have the ducklings I just got in with a standard chicken type waterer from TSC. They seem to be drinking from it, they make a funny noise when they drink. Is this adequate until they get larger or do they need deeper water now? Thanks Jamie

    Straight razor for dispatching meat birds?

    Quote: Depending on how well it gets flowing, sometimes they seem to take a while to die. They can thrash about for a while. Hard to say if the chicken minds or not and at what point of blood loss they are unconscious. Also if your in a hurry, no doubt, removing the head is fastest, but I...

    Thank you both for the suggestions, I will look for that brand. I did find duck starter at the coop. So I know I can get it. I got the impression that ducks were even less picky with there food than chickens, is that wrong? Thanks Jamie

    Straight razor for dispatching meat birds?

    Quote: I bought mine on amazon at a christmas time gold box special for $70, but I would say it is easily worth the $150 to have really sharp knives. They make less expensive sharpeners as well, which might work just fine, I just don't have personal experience with them. Jamie

    Quote: 20 birds is really only a few hours of work, even your first time. I would not suggest you take the time to rent / borrow a plucker unless your planing on doing alot more birds than that. Jamie

    Straight razor for dispatching meat birds?

    I use this knife sharpener: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CSG9BE I did get a Henkle $110 knife also. But I have found, even with cheap knives ($20 Chicago cutlery), once I have a knife sharpened properly, it takes about as much effort to cut a head clean off as it does to cut through a...
