    having an indoor rabbit when you already have cats and dogs

    Does anyone have pet rabbits that live inside with your cats and dogs? I've had rabbits before, but they were always outside in hutches and pens. I'm just curious how it works - I'd imagine it's similar to bringing a new kitten home...eventually everyone (meaning older cats and dogs) will...

    My first goat prolapse *WARNING* graphic talk, but NO graphic pics

    I don't normally post on here about my goats - just stick to answering questions and replying to topics, but I thought some people might get some useful information out of my experience this weekend. I know there's conversations about this stuff on BYH, but also know that not everyone on BYC...

    Wanted to share pics of my baby goats

    My oberhasli/nubian cross doe, Fudgie, kidded last week with two doelings. She was bred to a nubian buck - this was her first freshening and she did amazingly. She's such a great mother and I look forward to seeing these little doelings grow. I've got a few other does who are bred as well so...

    Mom left nest - Amazingly one hatched!

    I found one of our guinea's nests in a thick brush pile. She was heavily covered by the brush and only came out once a day, usually in the late morning. It took me two weeks for me to find her nest and once I did, I made sure to just vaguely look in on her every now and then so I didn't...

    Do hens lose the instinct to hatch out eggs and raise chicks?

    It seems my hens are horrible about hatching their own eggs. I've lost about 10 chicks right after they've hatched this year - some are still wet and others have dried off, but most of the time when I find them they have been pecked at. I've only had 4 hatch and live to be removed for fear...

    Guinea hen and Chicken hen did a broody switch!

    So, I've got a case of "I don't know what to think" on my hands. I've had a chicken on a clutch of eggs for about 2 1/2-3 wks, (depending on when the egg was laid). Saturday I went into the house to feed and I don't recall if the hen got up off the nest or if she was already gone - everyone...

    Are anyone else's guineas that stupid?

    Don't get me wrong, we love our guineas and can't wait until we have keets, but ours CONSTANTLY get "lost" on the other side of the cow fence, which is a regular 4" high fence with 6x6 squares that they could easily fit through or jump over. They are all just about a year old, have started...

    White Silkie mixed with either RIR or Australorp/Black Sex Link?

    We have 2 roosters, a white silke (I recently sold all my silkies and no one wanted to take him, so I decided to keep him) and a RIR guy named Chester. For hens we have RIR/NHR, a buff oprington (sp?), 2 australorp or black sex links, and a white sex link. Who is the mom? The dad is obviously...

    fertile silkie eggs under broody hens, but dying while hatching

    Hi... We have a situation going on where we have fertile silkie eggs under broody hens ( a silkie and a RIR). The RIR had been sitting on duck eggs and actually hatched out three ducklings - the rest of the eggs were rotten, so out they went. One chick hatched under the silkie and there are...
