More and more my family is substituting rabbits and muscovy ducks for chicken in our diet. Their grow-out times and overall yield are amazing, and the meat quality is excellent. I just can't seem to match it with chickens. But one potentially easy way to get rid of extra rabbits is to see if...

Thanks for the input, firestomp. As it happens, I just finished my build on Friday. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I ended up giving each of them a 2'x4' hutch, split into two equal sized rooms. One room is mesh floored, the other is wood floored with straw bedding. I blocked them into the mesh-side for the first...

Hi rabbit lovers! I've got a question about housing and poop management. :) I've been raising meet rabbits for my family for about 18 months. To this point I've had them in pretty primitive housing: wire cages with boards to rest on, all under a lean-to shelter. I let their waste fall straight...

Hi folks -- Our little backyard flock gives us anywhere from 1 dozen to 8 dozen eggs per week. On slow weeks we eat them all, but on busier weeks we get more than we can handle and end up selling them. I'd guess we sell about 75 dozen per year. The problem I'm having is that, at that scale...

Our first flock (16 hens, one roo) is about 6 months old, and we just had our first one go broody. It's been a few days, but we've had a few false alarms the past month so it wasn't until today, when I noticed she'd pulled out all her belly feathers, that I knew for sure she was really broody...

Gary, that egg scale is amazing! I'm going to have to get one. On that topic, I sort of wish more people had mentioned their eggs weights in this thread... it's so hard to judge the size. My 15 hens just started laying on Valentines Day. Currently their eggs are between 33 and 38 grams, so...

I'm new to raising rabbits for meat, and I have a quick question I'm hoping someone can address: I have a rabbit doe who gave birth to 9 kits on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. Unfortunately, she lost them all. I know that some mammalian mothers including humans can go on to have...

Kimi - LuvinBlueBirds just picked up a trio for me, which my family will drive down here in December. Check in with me in late spring? I may not breed them for a few months, though, just for personal scheduling reasons. I also have a possible lead on another source, in Colorado, so I might get...

Oh, great! I'll private message you with contact details.

LuvinBlueBirds -- any chance you'll have some silver foxes for sale in about a month? I'll have relatives passing through your area to visit me, and I haven't had much luck finding silver foxes down here. I'm trying to gather a breeding trio. Primarily for pets and meat -- don't plan to show them.
