Hi all, I am new to raising rabbits for meat. I currently have 4 does and might reduce to 2 or 3, I am not sure yet. I currently have two litter, so about 16 kits total. I expect to raise maximum 20-25 at the same time. I have seen a few farms around where I live, and they put all the...

Hi all, I have only one turkey.. which I need to process soon. I don't want a really big setup since there is only one. I'd prefer not to buy a pulley, build a setup, etc.. I am a woman and the turkey is pretty big. I can still pick it up but I will not be able to hold her by the legs! Is...

That's fine :) I don't want to pet them and play with them, just don't want them to get hurt. I know that chickens get accustomed very fast. I remember my first ones, when I came in to the coop they would fly away and hit walls and such. It lasted maybe.. a week or so. They were also about...

They did not violate the contract with the city, though :( The city sees it as a jog well done. A person finds a dog, they call the animal control and dog is gone. The fact that I had a hard time to get back the dog is out of scope of the contract with our city. And I am one single person...

No no, she gave me a receipt (written by hand). I will warn everyone! I already printed out some papers to give to the animal owners around me. There is a nice little Beagle that walks about 4km to come and see me on saturday morning's. I'll tell his owners that it's dangerous now. And all my...

I know this is probably depending on the breed and personality, but on average is it easy to tame rabbits? The rabbits I have were in cages all their lives. They are about 8 months old. I put them together in a colony. I know some people don't agree with this and that's ok. I want to do it...

On a sidenote: I don't have a cat problem anymore ;)

Oh I forgot to update you! YES :) :) On tuesday. Wow, what a strange series of events. I don't know if it works the same everywhere, but here, we need to buy a pet medal from the animal control company that deserves our city our municipality. Mine was called SCPE and I paid the medals since I...

Ok thanks for your input. Those are mainly reasons WHY I want to do it, so that helps me to direct my decision for my next pen / enclosure :)

OK I will read it for sure. In the meantime, can you tell me what you don't like about it? Maybe it will help me decide on my future "rabbit house". Thanks.

Hi all! I just got 5 rabbits to start breeding them for meat. I am really happy because I was super tired of eating poultry all the time.. So, a friend of mine was processing his rabbits this weekend and sold me 5. I wasn't 100% ready yet, so I kind of kick started raising rabbits, a little...

No I didn't get him to the vet yet because that means to leave work 2 hours early and I can't afford that for a stray dog. I will go on saturday AM :) The vet closes so early in my small town. If I find her, I'll put a GPS on her collar because if she's lost in the woods again, the microchip...

I know! I thought about that but it just makes no sense to me. First he is young, cute, small and non-castrated. He could have been sold EASILY for a lot of money - either for families or breeding purposes. Secondly, if someone abandons an animal, would they remove the collars? I am not sure...

Yes, Yes I put up flyers! And yesterday since I was searching for the pinscher's owners, I knocked at many of my neighbours' doors. No one had seen MY dog or this new dog. It's like he came from another town!! I live in a really small town, I doubt there is any information/new dogs or humans...

Is this a message from above or what? This morning a cute, tiny little pinscher arrived on my lawn while I was feeding the chickens. I heard my husky moving around, I checked and she was playing with a little boy pinscher. Who is that??? It's 6h30AM. I went in front of my house, the whole...

Aww. thanks. I actually just thought of what can help me. Any hunters out there? ;) Any tips on finding her in the woods would be great. Like I guess I should walk with the wind blowing from me to the direction where we think she is, for her to smell us. Also, I'm trying to find her tracks...

I lost my dog again, just can't believe it!!! Same thing happened to me 2 years ago, in november also. She is a blind cocker spaniel. Two years ago the same thing happened, with all the machinerie around my house (it is harvest time and I live surrounded by fields) I thought my dog got...

Wow 26 pounds of pecans!!! Great :) I've never even seen a pecans. I harvested about 30 nuts from one of my Black walnut trees about 10 days ago. I was extremely happy - first year one of them has produced. My friends and I made a cheese, nuts and wine meal with it. Delicious.

Update: she's all ok now, in case anyone passes through..

Hi guys, I think my chicken has a dislocated hip. Do you guys know any good video of this situation so I could compare? Or did anyone successfully replace a hip? In short: - She an adult - She never laid and doesn't seem to have an egg stuck - She's went down many weeks ago (like 6..7?). The...
