    Rabbits!

    My oldest litter of silver fox kits are 12 days old now. I'd like to start showing, and I know you have to start handling them young, when can I start really handling them and posing them? TIA.

    The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

    Hey guys, I was turning my duck eggs today and noticed a blue/purple bruise on one of the eggs? There was movement in the egg. I'm three days away from hatch. Any idea what it might be?

    Hello, and help?

    I've actually started drawing up run blue prints already haha. We plan on making another run just for meat birds, so adding on to their pen wouldn't be muchome trouble.

    Hello, and help?

    Lets see.. my flock is in an 8x14 coop/run that's about 6.5 ft tall. There are nests and roosting sticks for her to hide in/on. I haven't tried free ranging with this flock yet, we have some pretty rough predators out here so I'm still a little worried about loosing any birds. I think I will try...

    Hello, and help?

    I wouldn't say it was all of them, but maybe two or three. I did try removing the rooster once and there werected two hens that kept at her. Next time I'll try taking out the head ladies as well. Thanks for the advice!
