    Rabbits!

    So would it be more worth it to do flemish giants as pets and also eat the offspring? Just wondering, I have never bred rabbits

    Rabbits!

    If I was to breed my flemish giant male o something, what breed would be the best option (for meat). A newzealand? And how would the feed to weight ratio be? (Will I lose money?) he's 9 months old.

    Confused: hatching

    So I put my duck eggs (khaki campbells) into the bator at around 5/17 5/18 and 5/19. But I noticed last night that one of them has popped 6 days early? And it looks like one or two more might be in the air cell as well. I'm just really confused. Could they have been sat on and I didn't realize...

    Help! What's this in my Orpington's eye?

    I don't exactly what this is either, but maybe she was pecked or scratched her eye on a stick. And that cause some of the tissue from her upper eye lid to peel down? Was there any blood? Have you tried messing with it (gently) to see if is foreign material stuck in her eye? Just my thoughts

    Help please

    Newly hatched chick had a slightly mushy head (fluids have gone down in the neck though) which is probably a good sign that the fluid is leaving. But it has a stiffish neck? Like it dosent want to raise its head? Anything I can do? It also kind of looks like he's getting a bit better, albeit...
