Mine are to raise more meat chickens, to not have to buy vegetables for a few months out of the year, keep up egg production, raise my first grain for bread making, bee better at harvesting my bee’s honey, be more efficient with the compost from the rabbitry, and can/freeze more from the garden...
I breed show pedigreed Holland lops and am considering a purchase between two does. One is harlequin and one is brown eyed white.
They would be bred to my broken sable point buck. Then bred to the progeny of that buck and my self black doe.
Does anyone know if white would be dominant or...
I am 99% sure my pullet is a cream legbar, but her pantaloons are so light colored that she’s unlike those I’ve had in the past. Is she a mix or just poor quality?
Thanks!
My little Copper crossed the rainbow bridge today. She’s only my second predator loss since I started keeping chickens in 2018. It breaks my heart. I will keep everyone in the run for a while until the hawk has moved on.
I free range all day (locked at night) with 17 chickens. This is such a...
Hi All,
I have three Easter eggers for sale. $15 each. About 10 weeks old. Vaccinated. Let me know if you’re interested :) These are the last of a batch of 12 chickens that I’m selling this summer and I’m ready to be done haha - so make me an offer. 🤷🏼♀️
I just have to rant and rave about the increase in hay prices. When I began my Rabbitry in 2020 a 50# bag of Timothy hay was $17 at TSC. Now it’s $27.
I know inflation is everywhere, but what specifically is driving this one? Can a farmer please tell me so I can feel better about paying the...

My 2 year old sebright, Amanda, is broody - has been for 3 days. Is she serious? I thought they didn’t go broody? If I get her eggs will she go the distance?
Thanks!
Hello!
I have a Rabbitry and have attracted an escaped(?) domesticated rabbit maybe an English Spot? I want him gone to reduce the disease risk of my buns (whose garden is enclosed).
I’ve tried to grab him and can’t. He’s doing quite well health wise it seems. I suppose a live trap, but then...
Guys, my life has been changed forever. I have had the Run-Chicken battery operated chicken pop door for about 3 weeks now and I am in love. I do not have electricity running to the coop, so I have never had a great cheap option for an automated pop door before.
This one is flawless and...
I use the feed listed in the link below. I've never had any issues with it and my flock free ranges daily. I'm getting more focused on feeding them and I want you all to tell me each and every thing that this feed does wrong so that I can work to supplement. I do have a little banty rooster and...
She is a 5 year old lavender orpington. She has some other health issues, but is doing ok. This has been on her foot for about 4-5 months. She will limp for a while then be fine for weeks. It has never spread or changed. No other chickens have foot issues.
I’d love anyone’s help, but I am going...
Have you over-bought or chicken mathed yourself into more chicks than needed??!
Chicks at the hatchery are sold out for MONTHS! The clerk said they’re selling out the sexed pullet bin in 5 minutes!!!! Instead of relying on scooping some sellable girls out of the bin I had to buy all of my...
This is a rabbit virus that wipes out entire rabbitries in a day. It’s prevalent in the US southwest, but reports are everywhere.
I have a Rabbitry and just bit the bullet and fenced in the entire outdoor hutch area to protect it from wild rabbits and the virus. Priced out - the vaccine would...
