welcome, and nice to see your post ..

normal, look for loose poop [not clumped poop] , dirty back side, or "off feed", or reduced feed intake . Rabbits that have access to "outside areas", often need wormed annually..

I have removed ticks from rabbits, some people use ivermectin to keep them off, or some topical applications ... --also chickens are generally immune to coccidiosis , after they are mature.. Young rabbits are very susceptible ... letting rabbits run free in these areas that have had ,or do...

yes it has, ...In the US, it's another election year... The much televised, and well organised violence and craziness,..was so predictable. I'm so sick of politics,... and, there is nowhere to hide from it.. I spend a lot of my time out in my garden, I leave my cell phone turned off ...

The kits leave the nest, if they can, if they are too warm. The kits on wire or hard flooring ,are often damaged when stepped on, noticeable mostly in places where bone is next the the skin, [mouth /head area] Rats, are a good possibility also [as mentioned above.. My guess is , this began as...

Ducks also will decimate some garden plants, they will eat a zucchini plant to the ground in an hour, same with some varieties of kale, and leaf lettuce. Some crops are safe around ducks, unless you allow the ducks to become hungry.. I used ducks successfully in a field of garlic, they liked...

I have seen something that looks like that , but just a couple of times.., and it was not "attached" to the liver, just beside the liver I believed,... it was somehow related to "used hydrogenated oil" in the feed.. I found those in butchered rabbits ,after I had been feeding pellets that...

I have tethered roosters also, I use a cord with a swivel snap on one end, [to hook to an screw-eye in the wall ] and a leather strap to go around the leg, with holes for the tether cord to go through , [Just like Th e"Fighting chicken" people use] The ones I tethered were too rough on hens, or...

Having raised many chickens, and seen too many psycho roosters,... If there is a "next time", ... this is what i do... I catch him, hold him upside down by his feet for about 5 minutes, and push his head downward ,each time he tries to raise it up toward you. This action establishes...

One of my "English" penfriends says,- she thinks the "no renting , no house buying", restrictions are about to be lifted [in England] .. I sure hope so..

wow sorry ,this virus hype is way out of control.. that is just wrong.. Pesticides, there is no oversight, anywhere.. Until random sampling, is a part of farm product marketing, people will continue to spray at 5 to 20 times the recommended concentrations. Until enforcement of wind-drift...

I'm about done with the mask wearing thing , The 6 weeks "slow the spread", [along with fear mongering, and terribly conflicting information], -has accomplished its goal.= we now have empty hospitals . If new cases start climbing locally,I may resume the "mask thing".. I would love it , if...

As a long time "farmer", I have found that rabbits are "the canary in the coal mine" , they are the first to show me a "big problem" is on the way. They show "mold" included in the feed issues, way before the other animals They show damage from poor ventilation, [ammonia buildup]long before any...

a thorough check of feed, and hay for mold [or dust] would be in order. In my experience, most rabbit illness of this type, can be traced back to "other factors", that weaken the rabbits immune system. Mold contamination, including moldy ingredients in pellets. poor air circulation, causing...

my guess ... = pasteurella

some electric pressure canners, are good [and actually aproved for pressure canning] some are not so good. The "not so good" ones cycle off and on, reducing the heat/temperature intermittently throughout the cycle. If you buy one with a pressure gauge, you are usually fine for canning with...

I have at times made good rat traps, from a 5 gallon bucket with 4 inches of water in it, I fasten a piece of lumber or metal on the top as a "teeter totter" and put a little peanut butter on the end over the water. Also, -a big pop can with a coat hanger wire going through the middle...
