--i said no to the buck as they smell ---well ,, they just smell..

..;;;;;;;; also plan to do a rabbit hutch and haave a couple of rabbits----i was planning on a dwarf breed , but i hear they can be bitty and agressive--{ their will be small grandkid involved and i don't want them hurt }

....i was thinking of holland lops ?????// anyone have a breed in mind that is super friendly------

....also ---thinking ducks---white pekings--- i do not have a pond or stream , but was going to let them use a hard plastic kiddy pool---now , as for the ducks---other than a nice warm shelterd barn floor with plenty of straw ---do they have any other need----

...any other help or advise is REALLY REALLY WELCOMED BY THIS OLD FART ...

Sounds like you are on your way to being the farm of envy. Ducks will be fine with a kiddy pool or just enough water to get their heads wet so they can preen their body feathers...Pigmy goats are cool. Make sure you have good fencing so they will not climb out, mine did it so much I had to eventually get rid of them.

I had a dwarf lop eared rabbit. His name was Fred J. MessyBunny (Fred's just a messy bunny). He was the sweetest thing ever. Never tried to bite no matter what I had to do to him. I had heard that males can get a little aggressive as they mature, but he never did. He lived for 11 years and is buried in my backyard. He was such a good boy. I miss him.

I say get a dwarf if you want one.
