I'm hopping on (haha :bunnyhop: ) after a sabbatical during our move and lots of travel back and forth. Sounds like you have been busy yourself!! Congrats on the new little one - best quote I have ever read is that parenting consists of long days and short years. How true it is! And pooh on...

I had contemplated raising a flock, they are beautiful birds! I hope to get something set up when we get back to NC! She is so quiet the peacock hasn't even found her yet. I haven't heard a peep out of her - the lady said she was quiet!

It's interesting that I have noticed a difference in color and ease of peeling, but my blue eggs are much harder than the brown! :?

The $3k pea hen :roll: :? DH's gpa has one remaining peacock that is possibly 30 years old or more... I have been trying to find him a mate off and on for years, but oh my the $$$! Drove 2 hours to pick her up! (Only $45, technically ;) ). She is about 3 years old and free range...

Beautiful yarns!! Now that I am out of rabbits for a season, I think I might start back with angoras when that time comes - merging two hobbies into one ;) For those interested in spinning without a lot of room or money to spare, look into drop spindles! I did a skein on a basic one I bought...

I will definitely find something to tinker with - I think my brain needs projects to plan out. I have pics of the rock garden beds that are already there that I will get to play with! They are neglected, but I don't think it will take much... just need to figure out what to plant. I have never...

Looks like I am almost done with rabbits for this stage of life :( . We contemplated keeping one for a pet when we move, but I really don't know what life is going to look like and I want to keep things as simple as possible starting out. We'll have the one dog, maybe a cat, and that's about...

I like shooting them at DH :lol: (the flower heads) Plantain is one that, now that I want it, is not growing much at all in my yard! :evil: The hay field is totally overrun with it though! :roll: It is fantastic for bites and stings as well. I got nailed by some fire ants one day and it hurt...

I understand completely! ;) I will research this to death before taking anything on, no worries on that. Like I listed in the update, I think I just need something to keep me occupied and that's going to be harder to come by with our move. It's not a super strict HOA neighborhood, but it's...

Resurrecting this one thanks to MaggieJ! I posted contemplating an indoor bird after we move and she suggested maybe try pigeons - never thought of them since until this point we were out in the country and I was content with my chickens and rabbits which I won't be able to have. How noisy are...

I have a lot of sound sensitivity so you saying that definitely has me thinking twice about an indoor bird (it was a question mark for sure, you confirmed it) but I never thought about pigeons! I grew up in AZ where my parents always considered them rats of the air... it would take a little bit...

With our impending move to WV we will be leaving behind all but one or two of the critters. ODS's dog is going with, the cat might (he's an outdoor cat so not sure how that would work in a neighborhood). Our older dog will be 11 this year and is used to roaming - her hearing and eyesight are...

I have had a doe struggle with birth and have scattered dead babies and then one or two live ones 24 hours later. I would leave the box just to make sure.

Pretty pretty! I LOVE harlequin coloring! As a newbie to rabbits I picked up a broken tri because I thought he was beautiful! I paired him with a REW and given that there was so much white between the two of them I expected mostly white babies - boy was I shocked when I peeked in the nest box...

I have several rabbits that I need to find homes for - central NC, just south of Greensboro. Pics for Tarheel506: Violet: Clean ears Clean vent Not sure what happened here, or what I was trying to take a pic of, but it's just funny :lol: Doe that was the start of my smaller and...
