Okay, we have our first grow-out does producing. they are Cal x NZW. We bred them back to our NZW buck, and it looks like we have white ears and grey ears. all of the first generation Cal x NZW have the Cal coloring, so Im guessing Cal color is dominant. Does this mean the ones that are...

Angela (cal nz cross) first time mom, had 8 babies today! One was cold but intact. Ive been trying to warm him and hes taken a few breaths but isnt keeping warm. Ill try a little longer (Im eating lunch, hes in a bowl with a heat pack, wrapped in a napkin) She pulled a bunch of fur. She calmly...

Someone sent me teff seed a while ago, and I am trying to figure if I have room to grow a test plot this year. It is an Ethiopian staple grain, quite small and usually fermented to make a thin pancake/pita type bread called Injera. As I was looking around for more info, I found this...

So, in Valentines day fashion, we bred our now 3 does the last 2 days. Its been a cold winter and the girls have been getting along till recently, so as we bred them, they got their new digs. Angela (like the German chancellor) seems to like her new cage just fine, Vi (our sr. doe) is happy to...

Hi all, after agonizing back and forth a few times, we settled on the Crosman Quest 1000. Fiddly little trigger lock, but the key worked fine and came right off. Takes some strength to cock it, and you have to be just a bit gentle bringing it straight out to fire so you dont make the pellet...

I kinda feel like this is cheating- we tried it once and it was great, so just added a sauce this time: 2 slightly past fryer age rabbits 1/2 lb of good locally raised bacon 2 small cans water chestnuts minced onion (pearl or shallot probably work best) 4 chopped sage leaves 1 TBSP flour 1/2...

We had our first 2 rabbits for dinner last night! they were draped in bacon (from the farm where we purchased the breeder doe) and stuffed with water chestnuts. served with carrots, a Pino Noir and sage sauce (looked a lil funky but tasted great) and home baked bread. the backstrap meat...

So, I asked my DH to please stop giving the buns such a HUGE handful of hay, they are laying on it, pooping on it, and then I have to clean the inside of the cages and the pans several times a week and it was driving me :evil: I tried last year to make a flap of wire on the outside that the...

http://www.amazon.com/Crosman-2100-B-ai ... roduct_top I do appreciate the ideas and reviews of pellet guns- From the Amazon reviews of the Crosman 760, a reviewer suggested this instead. Its a touch more expensive, but sounds more of a sure thing for other critters or any distance...

Well, we have joined the ranks. it was harder than it looks, we went with bopping when cervical dislocation didnt work. :cry: DH and I were very encouraging to each other and went as quickly as possible, but it was challenging. I am apparently pretty good at skinning, and LOVE skinning...

We are still waiting on the coop, but made false cardboard tray bottoms for bedding, and have 6 Rhode Island Red pullets in 2 bunny hutches. They are quiet sweet girls. We went up to the Troy Ohio swap, perused the birds, and one families setup looked a bit more clean, conscientious, and the...

Seems like all the cool kids are over here these days 8-) Violet had her second litter last week- first litter kindled 7, weaned 5. She had 5 this time but they seem bigger and are gaining quickly. Its gotten real hot already here, so we are planning on giving them a break until it...
