Ok. All this bunny talk. This city girl (somewhat turned country...but not by much) has to ask.
What do you do with the all the bunnies ?????

We eat or sell ours and tan the hides.

Raz, I heard about the bees this morning, Thanks for posting that, I'll go check it out. We're going to try again, though I'm not sure who we're going to buy from again this year. We've been talking about sewing wild flower seeds on the sections of land we don't have pastured.

I post social stuff and i read social stuff.

For those of you who don't want "jibber jabber"
you can start a thread specific to your topic of interest.
Not being snarky, it is easy to do and it sounds like there are several of you who would appreciate it.

X2. I also find it rather rude that some find it appropriate to "scold" others for not coming on here only to drop pearls of poultry related wisdom.

Hurry, the bee packages and nucs are almost gone. Orders close at the end of the month from most places in SE Mich.

For the serious parts of my posting if you are on a regular computer i have the health and hatching links i share stored in "fuzzy's notes" in my signature link. It also has links to breeding charts, vaccines, coop ideas, you name it. Even has a link to starbright farms i think under the orloff section. Months of serious reading articles!

My pearls of wisdom have rolled off lately. all i can think of is building the ultimate coop, the ultimate diaper,........i need a secretive builder who won't copy me. Lol

As soon as i get my taxes back i plan on getting the coop materials. I've waited 4 years for this! I don't regret the camper coop and it is the perfect starting point for a newb as it is large and predetor proof. Now that im working i need something that has a run built in so heat won't be an issue though.

Folks, the original Michigan thread was closed yesterday due to flaming; many hours were spent cleaning it up, and it was reopened, only to have folks come in and begin flaming, trolling, and questioning moderation. Due to the extent of the clean-up needed, it has been decided by the Staff that the original thread will remain closed, but out on the forum so that folks can access the information it contains.

To those of you who are regular contributors - please take a moment to review the rules you all agreed to upon joining BYC. They are found at the bottom of the site under "TOS" - if anyone should have questions or require clarification, feel free to PM a Staff member at any time.

Please also take a moment before posting your replies to re-read what you've written to be sure it's within the rules. None of us Staff want to be "big brother" and watch threads...we simply don't have the time to do so. Thus, we rely on you to keep the peace, and to report posts before problems ensue. Had reports been made long ago, we may have been able to keep the original thread open.

Okie dokie - 'nuf said!

to be the peace maker. This is the original post. Trustingt we can get along and skip over what we dont want to read and also take private conversations private. And find the happy medium. Btw i enjoy the chicken community i have found here.

Want some really tasty rabbit, try canning it! It evens out the flavor and infuses the fat more into the meat... makes it juicy and yummy!! We tend to allow our buns to get bigger than industry standard and try to time processing with nice winter coats, so canning the meat insures it's edibility!
