    new Zealand rabbit genetic question

    To answer your questions. Yes it is very possible that she could have blue or black babies. Your does siblings were all white, because when you breed REW to REW you always get REW. Also I have 3 does who have raised 10+ kits. One just raised 12 successfully. Never lost 1. However it is common...

    Fermented feed feeder

    I have 36 chickens and 5 ducks on the same coop so I hope the garbage can will be great because it will have time to fully ferment in the cooler temps. Hopefully I can get my husband to help me make one. :)

    Fermented feed feeder

    I LOVE this idea! I wonder if with 3 openings on the bottom for feeders with a large garbage can, plastic of course. My concern is the lid doesn't seal completely on top... maybe that would be a good thing? inside the coop I'm thinking the natural heat of the fermenting process might be enough...

    dog problems.

    Wonderful. I imagine a duck would be the same? Actual skin contact would have to happen for them to be shocked? We may do some of this around the property line, at least on that side. Our other neighbors are wonderful wonderful.

    dog problems.

I think they should only be used temporarily and never as a means of permanent confinement. I have been thinking...

    dog problems.

    Our new neighbor brought a dog along. He is on a tie out with a doghouse most days, however we were woken up at 2:30am to the dog barking louder than usual. Luckily we got there in time. The dog had slipped his collar off and was going after our rabbits (we have a rabbit tractor that we keep...

    And no we don't lock them up. There isn't much ventilation in the coop at the moment and we are thinking of getting a trail camera or maybe borrowing a friends trailcam.
