The Old Folks Home

RR ties might poison the pond water. Be careful about where you put them.

Of course, maybe they are so old that they are fine now.

chicka..what kind of rabbits? Have a friend that went to show some of hers in Idaho today. Did pretty good. She breeds the fancy short eared ones.
Do you have them for fun..or to eat? Or..both.

really, there is such a thing as a "short" eared rabbit. I know they have some lop eared ones and those are adorable too.

The RR ties are over way over 20 years old. But we are only using them to hold the pond liner in place for 2 1/2" of water. It will be a wicking bed or giant kiddie pool type garden.
We will be adding soil to 7 gallon recycled grocery bags from Walmart and plant the veggies in them. Last year we had 4 kiddie pools and this year we want something that will look better and have an automatic float to maintain the water level so when we go camping I don't have to worry about the plants drying out.
I am going to put deer netting over the garden this year and around my fruit trees to try to keep the bugs and squirrels from eating everything. Wish me luck.

Cynthia I started out with a mixed breed pair that were just small brown rabbits to raise for meat. I found a larger buck that is a Californian/ Rex cross and he is a nice size and has sired some nice 10 lb. offspring. Right now I have 8 but I am holding some for a friend till she get's her set up fixed. Then I will breed 2 of my does after we get them moved.
Our Doctor told us to start eating more game meat to lower our Cholesterol. It is helping.

A lady that has bought several of my turkey and chickens has some Angora rabbits she offered me some when I first started looking for some. I told her they were to small for what I wanted.

This is BB2K's avatar - a 2 lb Netherland Dwarf doe named Wyldan's Silver Charm. Pretty short ears, wouldn't you say?

That's an English Angora; they weigh about 6 lbs. Their ears bend over at the tips like twin question marks - really cute.
