Some cry foul over resurgence of backyard chickens

[hemet dennis]

As people get hungrier, they will be more tolerant of keeping livestock in the city. The last great depression lasted thirteen years, and it took World War II to end it.

I was thinking of starting a little rabbit operation in my backyard, but after reading up on rabbits, I do not think they could take the heat.

A lot of people raise rabbits in Az.

I am not surprised. I was watching a video about a woman who had a front yard garden in AZ,and the city mowed the entire thing down.She was living off that food,and they just got rid of it! Having chickens,like edible gardens,is just not a big deal,but some want you to TOTALLY depend on stores.What if the stores run low? Will they suddenly change the laws and allow livestock and edible landscaping everywhere,or wait for the government to ship in food????

If I was restricted I would move even if it meant taking a huge sale loss on the home.

I would rather have animals and gardens prohibited due to covenant instead of zoning, because at that point you can decide wither or not to live there and it is done on mutual agreement instead of dictated you can or cannot do something. As an example if I wanted to live in a neighborhood where I wanted little vehicle traffic I would look for one where they had a covenant against lets say a barber shop in your basement. but would allow perhaps a person with a lawn mowing business because you'd have a few cars in the morning and evening and no further traffic from that home. You could buy a home with the expectations your neighbors wish to live by certain rules that won't change (unless the type of rule becomes antiquated and must/could be changed by vote by the neighbors) an example of one that could be changed or amended is if your covenant prohibited satellite dishes in the era of the 5-6 foot dish era, you as a community could vote for the exemption of the small dish many people have today for 2 reasons less space needed for line of sight and a smaller unit that could be hid or some how placed out of view of the general public that could be described as an eyesore.

Yes, but I suspect they need an air cooled building to raise them. It gets horribly hot here. That said, I see cotton tails and jack rabbits all over. I suspect they retreat into their burrows during the heat of the day. We see them in the green irrigated spaces along the freeway and in the graveyards. They come out mostly at night.

I will try raising rabbits when I have a decent place to keep them.

I saw something on TheEasyGarden.com about underground rabbit housing.....
I don't have rabbits so I didn't pay it much attention. But that could be an idea for you.

My neighbor had a caged area where he was keeping rabbits. They were burrowing into the soil. He no longer has them; I don't know if they died, escaped or were eaten. I believe it is best to keep them up off of the ground. It is an unnatural way for the animals, but we have so many soil borne problems here.

I have rabbits and will be getting more and I know some of AZ. gets hotter then here in Hemet but it does get real hot here. I have 2 liter soda bottles I freeze and put in with them in the heat I just rotate the bottles. Some people use a mister system. But if you have a shady spot that you can build a cover you can raise rabbits. Mostly you need to keep the bucks from to much heat if you want to breed year round. If they get to hot they will be shooting blanks for a couple of months. Some people have a small shed just for the bucks with a swamp cooler set for about 85 or 90 degrees.

we own a pet rabbit. she lived inside the home when we lived in ohio. after moving to sc, i built her a small coop next to the chickens. she was able to handle the heat, as long as we provided fresh cold water and watery foods.

Shouldn't the title read "Some cry fowl"?
