This old mama doesn't want to mama anymore. She needs a sweet retirement home somewhere away from the city or maybe a house that is rabbit friendly? She is a real sweet old bun. She was left here by my ex who abandoned his meat rabbits with me when he moved out.
If you're still interested in working on this, I am interested. I'd like to see one rooster allowed per household. I know they are trying to keep the cockfighting from happening. I know where I live I've been told of the old cockfighting ring that was in the neighborhood a long time ago. But one...
The guineas we had when I was a kid would poo poo the entire property full of tree cover and bugs and all sorts of food in favor of standing in the roadway with the cars. I'm not sure why, but you never know how good they've gotta have it in order to stay where they ought to.

It's been a while since I've been active here and I just realized I haven't posted at all since starting this account. So hi!
I've been raising backyard chickens in California for 9 years. Currently I've got 6 hens. We've also had meat rabbits for the last 2--3 years. We've also got...
