I think our fence fairy drowned in all the rain...

I've never seen that emoji. Very cute.

I've never dressed a rabbit and that little thing wouldn't have even been an appetizer. But for future reference... I can eat a rabbit that is injured but alive?

Yes, BUT technically you're only supposed to do it in the winter in rabbit season. That drastically reduces the number of infected individuals with Tularemia. Its a rather nasty disease. Generally you can check the liver for cirrhotic spots (if it looks spotted and diseased) to see if the meat is safe to eat or not. Safest in winter, but if you know what to look for and the animal looks healthy overall with a healthy liver you should be fine.

My Grandpa used to say only eat rabbits killed in a month with an "R" in it. He was a great man and a true country boy!

Fence fairy day 3.... About half the line posts are in...the end.

Family reunion hatch was ok. Hatched 12 chicks and were able to stick 9 under my broody Naked Neck and 3 under by Isbar. We hatched 2 brahmas, 2 naked necks, a splash Orpington, a black Orpington, one blrw, one Swedish flower, and four assorted silkies.

Lots of rabbit jokes hare. Haha thanks for the info on the rabbits though, all jokes aside.

Anyone here from south Georgia and have you seen any weasels?

Fence Fairy saga Day 4... What will today bring? Action? Adventure? Comedy? Drama? Sorrow? We shall see.


Hopefully, the rest of the line posts will go in today. Then wire and gates tomorrow. Then culverts this weekend. Then the releasing of the animals into their new home.

Anyone interested in some roos? I have a Splash Marans, a Swedish Flower, A Black Copper Marans and a Speckled Sussex. I would like to get $10 each for them. They are about 3-4 months old.
