Thank you for the info. Really appreciate your insight. Do you think they can be penned up in a certain area kind of like a chicken run and just eat only the grass/weeds in that area? We have tons of wild rabbit around doing that.

I have totally been thinking about getting meat rabbits but have no clue on breeds or butchering. I did watch some videos on butchering them... As far as meat goes, are they meatier than chickens? Grow faster? a lot easier to raise than chickens? How many ppl would 1 feed? Thank you!

Good for you! I don't but thinking you may want to look into an auto-sexing breed or sexlinks so you know off the bat which ones will be girls.

Yes that's the closest feed store to me. You made good choices! I had to be good so I only got a couple Ameraucanas and a couple Welsummers. I'm very curious how these Ameraucanas will grow out though because everyone always says hatcheries don't breed true Ameraucanas and are most likely Easter...

Welcome to the club! I live about 15-20 mins from Issaquah and was just at the Grange the other day... and well, couldn't resist so got a few babies too. What did you get?

Oh wow, we can bring chickens to sell there without having to register or anything? Sorry not familiar and have never been to one... Was going to try to make it.

I raised 5 chicks this winter in my garage and turned off their heat after they were 3 weeks old. I was so worried about them since temps were in the 30s but they survived and did just fine... But I kept them in my garage and there were 5 of them to keep each other warm... Oh and I threw some...

Cool, I might try to go then.Thanks for the info!

I've never been to a show before... Is it just a show to judge chickens or do people sell chickens too? I looked up their website but it doesn't have any information at all and I think they might even have the wrong date on their website! Everything I've seen says 3/19 but the Fancier's website...

Actually, I think chickens can be pretty smart and actually recognize other animals... Just my personal experience... When we bought this house, we inherited the previous owner's chickens... The previous owners had dogs and they still come by because they have family nearby... Their dogs will...

Oh no! So sorry.

Awesome!!! Thank you so much for the recommendation and for posting pictures. Trying to get it installed today so we'll see how it goes.

Hey Carolei, so I got my chuxaway door the other day. Trying to figure out how to install the controller "remotely" away from the motor... But I can't find any isntructions... Did you just have to run extra long wires from the motor to the controller?

Would love to see a chicken catch mice! Bet that's a lot of fun to watch.

Wow I just read up on Buckeyes here on BYC. Do they really mouse better than cats?! That would be a good breed for those that have to deal with mice/rats?

Beautiful!

I vote that if you ever can get a roo, you should get a choc orp roo so we can get some choc eggs/chicks from you.

That's what I said too... It's actually a lot harder than I thought it would be to put them in freezer camp. I have an older one I will need to do this soon and I am having a hard time even though i didn't raise her as a baby... I just got her this summer. That's why I try not to name them. But...

Lol! That's called chicken math. You will always end up with more than what you planned. Are they just for eggs or meat too? I have 8 hens (not including my silkies)... My best layers have been my Rhode Island Red, Australorp, and Barred Rock. They have continued to lay and lay and lay...

Thanks so much Carolei! I'm totally going to order that today. It's exactly what I want too! Battery powered since I don't have power to my coop and not light sensing either. Awesome! Thank you for sharing the info. I had scoured the Internet and that one never came up in my search. It's also a...
