    I love my bunnies, they are so cute and not so cuddly. But I don't mind that they are not cuddly as I am allergic to their fur, but they do wonders for my garden. Build a pen and put wire on the bottom and you can feed them for free from your yard, and if you are lucky a bag of food will last...

    We have the kind of mower where you pull on the string, well I pulled so hard that the string came out. So it died, I am not mechanical so I don't even try to fix it, that is Hubby's job. He worked on it today while I had an executive meeting at a local fast food joint.

I opened up a dozen eggs that I got from a friend and there was a purple one. I'm going to be sad to cook it since I have...

    Gardening with Rabbits

    Bred Kirby on the 26th, hopefully we will have babies in a month. Built a pen for a rabbit to go out onto the grass during the day, it has chicken wire on one side so I don't want to leave them in there overnight, it also doesn't have wire on the bottom to prevent them from digging out so I need...

    Well Dad found a coop for $200 comes with everything I could need including fencing and feeder, waterer and water heater. I am so excited that we found a good coop, Dad says you can't beat the price, the only trick is going to be moving it from where it is to our house, its about 45 minutes away...

    I plan on putting up an electric fence around the yard to prevent him from leaving it, to me dogs shouldn't be going houses away. With my dog I live in a duplex so the neighbors are right next door, and she gets yelled at for going over there. The pallets are a visual barrier, I plan to bury...

    I'm really lucky with my dog, she doesn't challenge the fence and stays pretty close to the yard, only venturing over to the neighbors if they are outside. My Dad's dog on the other hand just trots up the road to go visiting a couple of houses up and then wanders back down. My problems are going...

    The friend has had chickens in the past, down in Texas I believe. I am just a firm believer that there is no such thing as too much room especially when I want to add in 4 big hutches, possibly 5 if I get my own doe. And after reading on here the more room the better to prevent them picking on...

    Hubby wants us to do a chain link fence for the run, what are your guys' thoughts on it. I was thinking about something more like what I used for the rabbit hutch with cinderblocks around the base and wooden pallets on top of that with fencing going around the outside and over the roof...

    So I won a chicken coop today at an event that we held at a farm and feed store. Going to see if I can get another one built and have this one as a sick ward. Or I might just take the roosting bar out of it and make it into a bunny hutch. I don't think it will fit 5 chickens no matter how big...

    So happy with my family right now. We got some buffalo from a friend, just bought half a steer from family and have a pig ready for butcher here pretty quick. Our freezers are full and the garden is going to be growing soon. I love spring in the Valley, my garden can be planted earlier than the...

    So take your nest box that you showed rancher, add a big clean out door on the wall, and the wall/nestbox all swung out to the lid on the nest box didn't lift because access was from the front where the chickens entered the nest box. I will see if I can find the picture it was on BYC in the coop...

    I saw a door/nest box where it was all one, the nest box swings open and you can reach them all from the front. If I can figure out how to do one like that I will, I don't mind having an extra set of shoes just for chores, I already have one set for working in, and then a pair of boots for...

    It has been rainy around here, not good for much of anything. We had some super nice days but mostly it is rain, rain, rain, followed by a day or two of sun. But never enough sun to dry out the mud very much. Dad has been doing a lot of pruning and shredding at the house, next is down sizing and...

    Very true, I want to have a large enough run that I won't have a muddy mess, but still have lots of room for the chickens. I plan on only have 3-6 hens possibly a rooster. Dad is putting a house in on the lower pasture and that is where the garden is located and he wakes up at the slightest...
