Making rabbit stew today to take to work tomorrow. Many of my coworkers, if not all of them have never had rabbit. Crossing my fingers that this batch turns out well. This is the first time eating our own rabbits we butchered. They were decent sized too! Used three rabbits, a whole stalk of celery, 3/4 white onion, six carrots, a bag of peas, four garlic cloves, 750mls of red wine, four liters of water, one liter of chicken broth, a bag of chicken soup mix from central market, seasoning salt, and rosemary. Going to do a taste test in an hour and spice it up from there depending on what it needs. Any suggestions?

Hey all. We are looking at moving to the houston/conroe area this summer. I am just trying to get to know some in the area and figure out what we will be able to keep once we settle in. I am currently liquidating my flocks and herds in anticipation of the move.

Hello~ Welcome to Texas. I am moving to Rhome hopefully in a few months, now that is much further north, but you might consider there. The land is cheap right now and property prices will be going up drastically in the next 5-10 years. Only thing I have been told isn't allowed right where I am moving is pigs, sadly since I want a miniature pig that my husband wants to call Bacon. Either way, welcome!~ Also conroe I have heard has conroe trade days that is chock full of poultry. I need to go one day.

Hello, fellow Texan here

Glad to hear about Ortho Snake be gone. Going to try it. We have a cabin outside of Leakey. 4 scorpions inside on sticky pads. I used sticky mouse traps flat and slide them under the beds and couches. Neighbor killed a rattlesnake. Waiting with bated breath for my Easter eggers to show up in April. Hubby ordered me started pullets from McMurrays. Nice to see all the Texans on here.My sultan, who I thought was not supposed to lay much...has laid 4 eggs in two weeks. Lol

I have started pullets coming from McMurray too - the first week of April! I ordered two EEs, one Rhode Island Red and a Buff Orpington. (The four hens I have now are of uncertain parentage, so we wanted to get some that we could identify, ha.) I wanted the EEs, Mr. Coopmom wanted the RIR and we have both wanted a BO since we saw some in Colorado last summer. How many pullets are you getting, and anything besides the EEs? We'll have to compare notes once they all show up.

Locolobo56 here. Just joined the site a few weeks ago and just found this site. I hail from Angleton, Brazoria county about 50 miles south of downtown Houston. Did not read through all of the threads (3800+ of them?) but saw someone here from Sweeney. About 25 miles west of me. 6 Buff Orp hens and 1 rooster. HOWDY!!!!!
