    Feeding Animals Grain, vs hay, produce, morality?

    This article might better showcase the corruption in the media and science community, specifically. Although there are multiple articles which show this multifaceted media mis-coverage phenomenon.

    Feeding Animals Grain, vs hay, produce, morality?

    I hope you don't mind but most of my resources will be from the Weston A Price Foundation. I consider it very high quality but you will have to decide for yourself, many other sources are discussing this issue online but I have not had time to verify them. A quote from this article is...

    Feeding Animals Grain, vs hay, produce, morality?

    Thank you for your comment Maize&Soy. I will have to review the issues I see in further detail later when I have more time. For now, it is imperative to not allow more misinformation to be spread without challenge. There has been an anti-scientific attack on Vitamin A in the media and mainstream...

    Double Digging for Garden Beds

    That's pretty informative Zee-Man and eco2pia! I didn't expect to pick up advanced soil and botany knowledge here. Y'all are a treasure for a new gardener like me.

    Colony with multiple litters: 2nd litter born exactly 30 days after 1st

    8 alive and healthy, none dead! Last litter was 7 live, 3 dead. This is amazing! It took so long to get the buns comfortable to breed successfully. I was beginning to think I had some duds. Mom had shown no signs of pregnancy for about 3 months, then a false pregnancy the month before she...

    Double Digging for Garden Beds

    I also subscribe to the benefits of no till, and am committed to the longterm development of microbial soil health. I also have seen many no-till farmers advocate for a 1-time tillage on the first growing season of poor land (like Zee-Man's rocky/clay/impacted), before moving on to permentant no...

    Feeding Animals Grain, vs hay, produce, morality?

    Love your comments. I'm not sure if you're still active here and this is an old threat, but I found it and I had to dig it back up to add: There is also zero vitamin A in plant foods. Zero. All that talk about how carrots and orange plants "help your eyes" is another lie about the...

    Help! Infection spreading

    I would consider the meat "edible but not choice" as stress/pain tends to leave behind a taste I do not prefer. I would feed the body to meat-eating animals but for the head, I would compost all of the infected and surrounding material. I would make sure to add extra carbon, ash, or charcoal...

    Homestead updates: colony's 1st litter, our 1st dispatch and regrets, new blood, and new design

    This is a perfect system. Thanks for the insight into your organization process. Was planning on dispatching all the bucks first at 8 weeks, but I will adopt the rest of this system and keep 1 doe into roaster age out of all litters. How do you mark your best? I've been using sharpies on the...

    Animal For Sale Rex purebred

    The white Rex looks lovely. I was looking to source a white Rex purebred as the pelt is divine, but I'm in the US. How are the purebred rex temperaments?

    leaking rabbit drinking nipples

    Thank you for the details Zee-Man. Sounds like a genius system, excited for winter updates. Update on my leak issue: solved with a little bit of Teflon tape around the seal. I know Teflon is toxic but it's also used in most water piping systems and takes a very long time in extreme heat to...

    Lionhead Lop Babies

    They are gorgeous. Lionhead x lops in that color are the prettiest buns I can imagine

    Homestead updates: colony's 1st litter, our 1st dispatch and regrets, new blood, and new design

    It's the dog and the soil for me too! There's just no comparison for those little gold nuggets, nor to the nutrition in 'whole prey' diet for dogs. I can't imagine setting aside a whole day to process so many fryers, we will have to see if I can pay the kids or the neighborhood kids to help. Or...

    *Easy, cheap, covered colony* DIY Cattle Panel Greenhouse/Rabbitry

    Howdy rabbit folks, the post is finally here! This is how I set up my covered colony. This works well for a beginner set up, imho, and provides a weatherproof space to actually "enjoy" the rabbits. It's my little slice of heaven. And as a beginner gardener in zone 4b, it's made the learning...

    Colony for the summer

    I have heard this once before but haven't believed it was possible until now. It makes sense that the does would have the authority to schedule their own breeding, that's how it is in almost all species which raise young in a group. You hear so many horror stories of the bucks being castrated...

    Colony for the summer

    Such a simple, effective set up. Very grateful to have the chance to peek into it. It's such a surprise that your buck is allowed free roam and it works! There's so many colony myths in the meat rabbit community (not specifically this one, just in general, but I've seen a few here too) that are...

    Question For The Experts

    Plus there is plentiful fat in the bone marrow, brain, and organs. If someone dies of starvation when these nutrients are clearly available, they must've been wasting these precious parts while slowly starving, which is not something humans (or any beings) do. There might have been one very...

    Colony for the summer

    This looks divine, loving the idea of the cages around the trees to get them established. This is just brilliant. 3 questions: do you harvest your male fryers first or how to you separate before puberty? What are your watering and feed station set ups for this large of a colony - and how often...
