I have seen so many pics of people keeping a bunny in with their chickens. I would love to have a bunny but I'm wondering how I would keep them together. Obviously I would have a hutch for the bunny but what about keeping their feed separate? What do you think Cappy?

I have pondered that question before. I think the chicken feed would not be good for the bunny but my chickens clean up any spilled rabbit pellets without any ill effects.

Do rabbits need a friend or could I keep just one? What breed do you recommend since we get such cold weather

You can keep 2 does together. Or one by itself is fine. Rabbits in the wild mostly stay alone once mature.
I would avoid Lop breeds as the long ears can get frostbite. Any other breed raised outside should be fine. Mini Rex are ones i favor. Some of the Lionheads people breed these days are too fuzzy for my liking. Require too much combing.

Personally I would love a lionhead. I'm all about fuzzy. This might sound like a silky question but.....are there breeds that dig less than others? I wouldn't want one to dig an escape tunnel

Thanks PBM. Morning was rough, really really rough today.

Ok so.......

What I am hearing you say is that for your entire marriage to him they have been passively aggressively trying to.make you feel unworthy, or less than whatever the ex was.

Um....they are divorced. I kinda think that says she is the unworthy one.

Trying to make you feel like a nothing/nobody is a very hurtful thing to deal with.
You are a very worthy person who deserves so much better.
He obviously knows this since he married you. ;)

Possibly he is just very use to being submissive to them. It sucks taters. He is supposed to be your champion and partner in life.
I doubt it will change.

I would tell him you love him but won't participate in the gatherings anymore. That it is hurtful and you are simply done with that in life.

There are enough people in the world willing to gleefully hurt people. Family shouldn't be on that list.
:hugs

“Submissive to them”. Yup hit the nail on the head.
Same here.

This whole thing was worded perfectly. @pitbullmomma you ARE WORTHY.

don’t let them convince you otherwise.

And yes, it’s okay to miss your mom.
Oh lord I miss mine.
I talk to her in my head all the time. She sounds so much like yours. She was my best friend. She loved me so much.
I miss being loved like that.
So so much.

I am so sorry that his family was not raised to be thoughtful or considerate. He sounds WAY to passive.

I used to be super withdrawn, quiet, submissive etc. I guess the therapist did her job a little to well. I say what's on my mind and let the chips fall where they may,
crap still stings me but I sting back.

Knowing that about me gives perspective on any advice I toss out there.

I know it is not in your nature to tell people off. It appears it is not in your hubby's nature either. :hmm

There are hurts and insults that they dish out that you should not be expected to tolerate.

Meeting them on their ground with this thought......

Next time some picture of his ex pops up......
Just what I would say......
"You all must have really thought the world of her. I notice that her picture is pulled out often. It's such a shame you cannot feel that way about me. It makes it hard for me to feel wanted at these family gatherings when even though they have been divorced for such a long time she is still included even though she is not here. "

Then turn and walk away.

They can think it over, say negative crap, or be confrontational....... Brace for whatever may roll from it.
Nothing in what I typed should cause your hubs to have a tude.

X1million except it would take so much guts to do this it would make me have a heart attack and die on the spot.

Does that mean more testing?

I know a few years ago someone on the Colorado thread kept a closed flock due to having Mereks.

I guess I am curious what it means long term for the flock.

I still think a necropsy is in order to confirm something.

They are not my birds but I would not be able to sleep if I didn't have a for sure answer.
I have a problem with the blood test because I have seen someone have it done, which showed negative for Marek's and they kept losing birds... Marek's was finally confirm with a necropsy.

Poor Nunny has lost too many birds in such a short time, some with classic Marek's signs...the eyes/legs issues.
