Hello!
I have a mixed-breed flock of laying ducks and geese. I have 2 Khaki Campbells, 6 Indian Runners, 3 Crested Mallards, 5 Anconas, 2 Black Swedish (1 crested), 2 Golden Welsh Harlequins, a Cayuga drake, a Pekin hen, and 3 Sebastopol geese. I've been keeping them for almost a year now, and...
My family recently got four rabbits. Three does and one buck. So far, they’re doing great. However, we’ve only ever had chickens on our farm. Is there anything extra special I need to know about rabbits? Like, for example: “keep chickens away from rabbits”, or: “cuddle constantly”. Any extra...
Hi I found baby rabbits at the bottom of my chicken coop yesterday there are 4 of them. They stayed overnight and they won’t leave my chickens didn’t hurt them but rabbit mom is no where to be found. Not sure how to care for the rabbits does anyone know?
Welcome to my wannabe homestead, also known as a backyard with chickens and a garden. I decided to show what it's like starting a garden & flock from scratch. Pullets are still growing, seeds are still being bought, and a lot of pre-planning is happening. My flock is on half an acre with an HOA...
Keeping rabbits with chickens story
(NOTE; this is not aimed at anyone, I have just seen MULTIPLE posts on multiple sites/pages finding it funny and cute, it is NOT meant to make anyone feel bad! I made this EXACT mistake due to the lack of awareness on it!
WARNING; slight graphic descriptions)...
Hello!
I have been raising a flock of laying ducks and geese for almost a year now. It has been rewarding, and I wouldn't trade any of my birds for the world. This year, I showed a few of my ducks in the county fair, and I watched the small livestock auction take place. I had been thinking...
Chickens and Conspiracy theories......
Ok, let me explain. Raising hens for eggs has taken me down some deep deep rabbit holes! First, the eggs! Homegrown eggs are simply amazing! Mine were a little smaller than what you get from the stores, but infinitely richer, and more flavorful! So I began...
Why is it okay to keep quail and rabbits in small wire cages (usually 30 x 36 inches), but not chickens? Why won't quail and rabbit keepers try to provide them with the same space and freedom that chickens have?
Hi :) I have ducks and chickens together and i would like to get 3 rabbits. They would have a seperate sleeping coop but be together in the outside run. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues keeping rabbits and chickens and ducks together? Have the chickens ever gone after the rabbits? Or...
I haven't yet built my chicken house and I know I want to raise rabbits soon.
I'm wondering if anyone has found clever ways to integrate the two beasties together that are helpful for them and efficient for us.
Like new. Used for 2 weeks only as an extension for a Chicken coop.
Great as a Chicken run.
Great for rabbits or other small rodents.
Great for separating roosters, growouts, and ducks.
Pick up only in Chicago
PM me for price. Thank you
Hi everybody! I'm new to this website but I've seen it advertised often while searching about chickens and other poultry. I'm not sure how to start this intro, so I'll just let these questions do it for me 💗
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I've had chickens my...
I have a fenced off area (my old garden) that my chickens stay in and they have 2 coops and runs in the middle. The 2 coops are together but can be separated with the close of a door. I'm thinking of getting meat rabbits which I've never done before.
Can my white leghorns and meat rabbits...
Can chickens successfully use rabbit and/or small rodent waterers? It would be so much easier when I have chickens in a cage for whatever reason, if I could use a waterer that hangs on the outside of the cage. Would be super nice for when they are caged in the garage due to cold weather …we...
I've a friend who's kept poultry all his life. Yesterday he told me about something surprising and disturbing.
His friend told him that the two RIR roosters had flown out of their pen. My friend went to investigate; and saw aggressive rabbits in it. They had the hens herded up and were...
This "thread" goes back to 2008 with over 2,300 families experiencing issues with their city ordinances barring them from raising their own food on their own property. There are already over 50 posts from May of this year (2023.)
Almost everyone posting here is seeking a way to fight their city...
I saw a guide replacing fish meal with chicken meat meal successfully due to fish toxins
I go rabbiting there meat has more protien and less fat but more cholesterol and a lot more minerals in higher amounts like zink mg etc than chicken
I know protein will be thanked but cholestoel higher...
