I would love to play, but going through 60 pages just to read the story for it to continue to make sense is a bit much (especially by page 12 the first story stopped making sense a few pages back and a new story was started). Can I make a suggestion? Whoever starts a story posts the first...
Thanks for the heads up on that idea. I knew the doe only fed once or twice a day, but I didn't know you can actually take the young away from her for the night and/or day with the cold weather. We just had our first snow fall late Friday night to Saturday evening with temps dropping down to...
Also, we did rebreed Moose yesterday so we will see how it goes. We did find out from first hand experience about something scaring a doe really bad can cause her to kill her litter. A raccoon scared one of our does (Baby) in the past that she killed and mutilated (ate) 3 of her 6 kits, and...
You are wonderful!! I am copying and pasting any information I find from you in a document to save for my reference chart. I also saw the information that you were giving Wolfbane who lost the 3.4 week olds. Wolfbane might not have been too interested in what you had to say, but I found it...
As one person pointed out first time does can have problems. We got a doe that had never been bred before. She had 7 kits im her first litter and between 2-3 weeks old five of the seven died. She had 5 with this second litter and all five are now 7 1/2 weeks old and have done great.
I am...
Also...is chestnut and agouti the same thing (on the one post of yours...I actually still have it up in another browser and it is from 2/10/14....I was a little confused on that). Below is a picture that I just saw on the web and the heading is Chestnut: Chestnut Agouti New Zealand Rabbit...
Thank you Bunnylady. Without you even knowing it you already helped me think chestnut over castor which someone else told me Poppy was when he was still a baby. I saw a post a few days ago where a year or so ago someone else had posted a question about the coloring or something of their rabbit...
This is Poppy. He is a New Zealand, and is 7 weeks old in this picture (born 9/23/15). His mother is a black and his sire is a white. If anyone knows what his coloring is called (see my new thread post...what color is my rabbit and other questions) please let me know. We have black, white...
This is Poppy. I am trying to figure out if he is considered Chestnut, Castor, Otter etc. He is a New Zealand, dam is black and sire is white. Poppy has what I have seen listed as chestnut in his coloring (black tip, then yellow/tan, then blue/gray banded fur), but then about half of his fur...
The have a heart traps are getting set when I put the chickens up tonight by both the metal coop and the rabbit cages. To bad I don't have a third to set by the small coop.
I have something that is going after the feed of my poultry and rabbits, but not the animals. It took a small hole in my metal coop and ripped it outward to the size of my lower thigh, got in with my baby call ducks and emptied one feeder and took the other out the hole and ate the feed from...
Hawks do get the red sex-linked hens also. I know from experience. Brandywine "Brandy" was killed by a hawk on Oct 21, 2011. Isa Browns, Red Stars, Cinnamon Queens, Golden Comets and Gold Stars are all red sex-link chickens. Brandy and her 5 sisters were/are all Isa Browns. They were my very...
I'll take everyone's two cents. We did do your idea to a small degree. We made small slits in one spot then bent them outward in one spot. Sorta like a vent in the house.
I do have an extension cord that runs to the house for the light, and in the winter time, their water bowls and/or heating bases to keep their water from freezing. We had thought of fans, cut there is no where to put them unless we figure out how to put high shelves in the corners. I'm afraid...
We bought a 10x14 metal shed for our coop. Giving 2 square feet per chicken that would house 70 chickens, and we only have 44 (and 3 ducks) so they have plenty of room. The only problem is ventilation. How would one go creating "windows" in a metal shed. Would cutting out a square, create a...
I know this thread is from a few years back, but I just saw it. When I was a kid, and would rescue hurt ducks or runts I had Muffy, Nosey, and Bluebell. Then after I moved north as a teenager I had Nibbles. Last year I rescued a baby duckling (probably mallard) I named Peepers, but he didn't...
