We recently rebuilt the outside cage portion of our rabbitry to give them much larger cages. The intent was to be able to put in shelves with little ramps to climb up. So my large cages are done and the does with their large litters are really enjoying the extra leg room. But I can't figure out...

On CL I found a man who is moving out of state and trying to sell all the stuff in his barns. His Ex used to raise rabbits. From what he described on the ad it sounded like a bargain. One 4 cage vertical stack. One 3 or 6 hole stack with coated wire. 15 standard wire cages. Plus water bottles...

We had a doe kindle on Tuesday but the temps were so low we did not dare open their box that day. Then yesterday I was not home until late at night when the temps were dropping again. Today it should be about 43* when I get home and I am going to peek. I can't stand it any longer - LOL.<br /><br...

So I live in Texas where nobody owns snow chains or is capable of driving responsibly on ice. I also live out in the sticks so there hasn't been a sand truck within 30 miles of my place. We were stocked up and ready, thankfully, but we haven't been anywhere since Thursday. I am enjoying the...

This is the best reason I have ever seen to take time to read reviews before ordering a product. Not for the weak stomached - you have been warned. LOL http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EVQWKC/ref=tsm_1_fb_lk

Just in time for some unseasonably cold (arctic front) weather. Seriously? This is Texas, why is it in the 20's in November? Thankfully the popples are snug and warm in their earth bermed boxes and both does pulled lots of fur. I know one of them only had 3 and one of those is tiny. Might be a...

If all went well last month, we should have a couple of litters towards the end of the week. This is where we get to see if the underground ice boxes kept our sr buck from going sterile. Whether the new doe we got at the end of last season is worth the feed she has been eating. And also...

Well we brought home a trio of turkeys from a lady who needed to downsize quickly. We now have a beautiful Royal Palm Tom, a penciled palm hen, and a white holland hen. I know nothing about Turkeys - LOL! Time to do some internet digging. My hubby had been around folks who raised them when he...

Seriously? They are selling a dead rabbit????? http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/for/3944762240.html Wait - I better paste in the text as I bet the ad gets pulled soon: dead rabbitt - $20 (ft worth) dead rabbit with nice cage, been dead for a while but unbelievably never decomposed. it for...

I have a teen daughter who is on Facebook. Many of her friends will also friend me since they hang out at the house a lot and feel they know me. Here is what I have learned about our teen population from Facebook. Many of the kids these days seem to have the bathroom and the car confused with...

Had a chicken go broody. She just sits and sits even when it is hot in the coop. We usually continue to collect eggs and don't let them sit but DH decided to go ahead and let her. So last night he took 6 eggs he had saved up the past two days and stuffed them up under her. She immediately...

Anyone use hay racks that are solid backed and have recommendations as to the best ones? I want the kind that fits on the outside of the cage. Been looking online and I see some from petco that are plastic but comments say hay slides right out the bottom. There are Lixit brand plastic ones...

Does anyone know of a Christian based forum about general homesteading? I am starting to like the forum setting better than things like facebook and would like to find another one or two I can join. Thanks!

We currently have two bucks of unknown age (were given to us for free). Both seemed to be equally good producers this past year. So the only real concerns I have are" 1 - Don't know how old they are so they may or may not be getting past their prime 2 - Though they can get into underground cool...

Sometimes you see something and it cracks you up even though it really isn't all that funny. This one got me bad at work the other day.

Bummer. Lost a calf to a Mountain Lion night before last. Dogs were trying to do their job - standing sentry at the yard perimeter and raising hell. But me being tired, decided it was probably just a coon or coyotes and went back to bed. Should have gotten my butt up and investigated further.

I have never seen or heard of anything like this. EWWWWWWWW! http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07 ... is-rabbit/

Several years ago we made my Mother a little apartment on our property because she didn't need to live alone anymore. Yesterday she called to tell me that one of our young hens who have just started laying had gotten onto her back porch and into a cat carrier she keeps out there for the cat to...

Ok so we had lost rabbits to heat last year even with ice bottles, breeze and shade. So we built a kind of cave system where all rabbits can go through a pipe into an insulated area. Since it got very hot here we have been putting an ice bottle in the little insulated boxes for each rabbit. We...

Just thought I would share something we found on Craigslist. There was a fairly local fellow selling old billboard ads pretty cheap. These are heavy duty uv treated tarps basically. One side will be plain white or black and the other will have an ad for some business. Ours are Whataburger :-)...
