Looks like Chewy only ships within the US. Thank you though! I'll check out the amazon link.
Update: That's H and H Feed on Amazon, looks like they only ship within the US as well.
I know a few people in Toronto have quail, but I can't find a good source for livestock or game bird feed anywhere in Toronto. Anyone know where I could source some? Ideally I'd want the chick starter and breeder feed as well as the grower.
Found so far:
Nobleton Feed, Nobleton - 28% Turkey...
I've considered keeping them inside, certainly would be easier than prepping them all up outside. Especially if you have 3 feet of snow!
And definitely bowls over bottles. Cracks and cracks and the ice never comes out. Do you reckon I should give them timothy tea lol
Thanks a lot for the info!
Okay, so it's doable with the ups and downs of weather. That's good to know. Thanks for the replies!
I'm thinking of growing out the litters in a tractor, separate from the main colony. Any tips for overwintering a rabbit tractor? I'm thinking plenty of bedding, a tarp over it. Is there...
Oh, sorry. These are estimates by the way. Do not live in that area right now. Would it be warm enough during the day? The temperatures I can find don't specify.
Here's another thread on the topic. Seems warmer temperatures can make them hatch faster, and quite a few people have early hatchers in their incubators. Don't worry :)
I have a cardinal feather... uh oh :P
The law is there so people do not kill protected/native birds and use their feathers to decorate, etc. It's impossible to prove if a feather was found on the ground or killed for. Does seem a bit silly, though.
They'll be fine, maybe a bit grumpy :P. Egg-boundness is usually caused by health problems or nutrient deficiencies. As long as they have nest boxes and plenty of space, there's no problem in keeping them contained while they're learning :)
If you have a colony of rabbits breeding throughout the winter, do you butcher them? I'd think butchering below zero would be a bit difficult. But, if you take the buck out during the cold months, that's half the year lost, for me anyways. How does this work?
I'm looking for a small, hair, polled breed of sheep that does well in cold climates and is relatively friendly.
Anyone know of my dream sheep (or a breed that fits some of these requirements)?
