    Need help on growing pen design / space

    Hi all, I am new to raising rabbits for meat. I currently have 4 does and might reduce to 2 or 3, I am not sure yet. I currently have two litter, so about 16 kits total. I expect to raise maximum 20-25 at the same time. I have seen a few farms around where I live, and they put all the...

    How to process large turkey alone?

    Hi all, I have only one turkey.. which I need to process soon. I don't want a really big setup since there is only one. I'd prefer not to buy a pulley, build a setup, etc.. I am a woman and the turkey is pretty big. I can still pick it up but I will not be able to hold her by the legs! Is...

    How long to tame rabbits?

    That's fine :) I don't want to pet them and play with them, just don't want them to get hurt. I know that chickens get accustomed very fast. I remember my first ones, when I came in to the coop they would fly away and hit walls and such. It lasted maybe.. a week or so. They were also about...

    Lost my dog again!! Super sad and mad!

    They did not violate the contract with the city, though :( The city sees it as a jog well done. A person finds a dog, they call the animal control and dog is gone. The fact that I had a hard time to get back the dog is out of scope of the contract with our city. And I am one single person...

    Lost my dog again!! Super sad and mad!

    No no, she gave me a receipt (written by hand). I will warn everyone! I already printed out some papers to give to the animal owners around me. There is a nice little Beagle that walks about 4km to come and see me on saturday morning's. I'll tell his owners that it's dangerous now. And all my...

    How long to tame rabbits?

    I know this is probably depending on the breed and personality, but on average is it easy to tame rabbits? The rabbits I have were in cages all their lives. They are about 8 months old. I put them together in a colony. I know some people don't agree with this and that's ok. I want to do it...

    Lost my dog again!! Super sad and mad!

    Oh I forgot to update you! YES :) :) On tuesday. Wow, what a strange series of events. I don't know if it works the same everywhere, but here, we need to buy a pet medal from the animal control company that deserves our city our municipality. Mine was called SCPE and I paid the medals since I...

    Ok thanks for your input. Those are mainly reasons WHY I want to do it, so that helps me to direct my decision for my next pen / enclosure :)

    Meat rabbit - newbie - colony housing?

    OK I will read it for sure. In the meantime, can you tell me what you don't like about it? Maybe it will help me decide on my future "rabbit house". Thanks.

    Meat rabbit - newbie - colony housing?

    Hi all! I just got 5 rabbits to start breeding them for meat. I am really happy because I was super tired of eating poultry all the time.. So, a friend of mine was processing his rabbits this weekend and sold me 5. I wasn't 100% ready yet, so I kind of kick started raising rabbits, a little...

    Lost my dog again!! Super sad and mad!

    No I didn't get him to the vet yet because that means to leave work 2 hours early and I can't afford that for a stray dog. I will go on saturday AM :) The vet closes so early in my small town. If I find her, I'll put a GPS on her collar because if she's lost in the woods again, the microchip...

    Lost my dog again!! Super sad and mad!

    I know! I thought about that but it just makes no sense to me. First he is young, cute, small and non-castrated. He could have been sold EASILY for a lot of money - either for families or breeding purposes. Secondly, if someone abandons an animal, would they remove the collars? I am not sure...

    Lost my dog again!! Super sad and mad!

    Yes, Yes I put up flyers! And yesterday since I was searching for the pinscher's owners, I knocked at many of my neighbours' doors. No one had seen MY dog or this new dog. It's like he came from another town!! I live in a really small town, I doubt there is any information/new dogs or humans...

    Lost my dog again!! Super sad and mad!

    Is this a message from above or what? This morning a cute, tiny little pinscher arrived on my lawn while I was feeding the chickens. I heard my husky moving around, I checked and she was playing with a little boy pinscher. Who is that??? It's 6h30AM. I went in front of my house, the whole...
