ya, thats a male in the back trying to catch a ride

I don't think they're frogs at all, 'specially the fat one in the front. More likely toads.

I just went out and it is down to 44, and feels like 10 degrees colder with this wind! I took each of the bunnies a box with shavings in the bottom. Then i draped a tarp over the front of the cage and anchored it in front and on top. Scared to lose any more. It has not felt this cold since we moved here.
I checked on the guineas and they made me laugh! Dark, dark, light, dark , light all 14 in a row on the same roost.

Did i tell you i shot my Savage .308 rifle for the first time today? After
husband sighted it in, i hit the bullseye second shot!

Does it have the Accutrigger? I bought a Savage .243 without the Accutrigger, trying to save some money. The non-adjustable was set so high I could barely pull it, which caused me to pull all my shots. I bought an adjustable Timney trigger & it made a world of difference.

Will they cross with cattle or buffalo given the chance?

cattle yes if the male is yak and "imprinted" on cattle other wise usually not. BUT there has been some highland cattle and charolais dna or markers showing up in some of the yaks.

I doubt it, pretty easy to squeeze off a shot.

My bunny died and i am building a hoop coop.

How wide is the base on that coop? Keep thinking about one myself.

X2. I need something as a growout pen and hoop coops sound cheap and easy.

it needs a liner ? I need cheep .

The liner keeps the "bricks" from breaking due to the heat; they're just cast concrete, not fire brick. Liner also assures a uniform circle when laying the courses up.

It is 8 feet wide and 16 feet long. I used 4 , 50" x16 ' cattle panels, 10 t posts, a bunch of pallets(and a bunch of long boards from pallets to attach roofing to), a roll of 2"x4" welded wire, 3 feet tall, 2 sheets of treated plywood, over 2 rolls of clothes line wire, 7 tarps, 4 clear roof panels, 8 and 10 foot 2x4s, hardware cloth ( about 55 feet of it so far, and a metal door. Screws, nails, poultry staples, special screws for the roofing and wavy foam stuff.Oh, and paint.

Not really cheap, but relatively cheaper than my other coop. Much easier and faster for sure. Easier for one person to manage.
