So about a month ago, i don't have the paper in front of me to no the actual date. we bred our little dwarf rabbit. she began pulling fur and made a huge nest a couple days ago. Any idea how much longer it could be? I am going crazy waiting. :)

Ok.. we decided its time to start stocking up on medicines and vitamins around for our animals. So here it goes. What all do you guys keep on hand or use regularly? We are thinking about just doing one or two large orders for now so we are prepared. With nothing that close to us we figure its...

My boyfriend noticed last night the chickens seem to have mites (I don't go in the coop as my hay allergy wins that battle) . and with their coop being so close to the ducks we were wondering if we can use that spray on the ducks also without hurting them. We feel so bad for the poor chickens...

Earlier i posted about an incubator we were considering.. ((after the LG temp spiked killed a whole batch of chicks *20 to be exact*)) well after some talking we decided against it as there were to many mixed reviews from others around here. So here it goes again. We are looking for advice for...

Excuse the mess we are adding on to their homes :-). But I had to share we have 4 pools around the yard and the little dudes (as we call these ones) always are getting ran out of the bigger pools so we placed this one outside their pen. I thought it was just adorable how they finally got their...

This weekend while we were away from the incubator for a couple days we must of had a power outage as when we got back the incubator was at 120 degrees :-( eggs were pretty much exploding *sniffle* we had at least 10 chicks pass away due to the random jumping in temp. We finally got it to...

So feed is getting out of control around here and with the major drought our garden we planned on using to feed our chickens dried up literally. So the question I have is what can I feed my chickens besides feed that will help off set the cost? Two bags a week for my chickens, Two/ three for my...

Since this is the first year we will have our turkeys, ducks and Chickens how can we prepare them for the winter. (Bonus they live near the river, so its freak cold one minute and really windy and snowy the next. We have a large coop already built for our chickens, for now we just have a...

Hello All, I came across your sight about a month ago and finally joined up! My boyfriend and I recently began the amazing adventure of raising poultry. Despite bad luck at the beginning we now have a mass amount of different cuties around. We have about 30 chickens/ Roosters. From frizzles...

We recently just placed 20 eggs to hatch. The problem is only 1 survived the hatching. We sadly had a power outage and that killed the temp in our incubator :(. Now what do we do with the one hatched little chick. Its about 3 days old now and it seems so lonely. We have other eggs in the...
