    Meat chickens??

    The meat should be fine, crock pot should remove any worry about toughness..poor things, the legs just can't support the heft of the body. As long as the hearts and livers look good you should have nothing to worry about. The other breeds you mentioned are all great layers. The Rhode Island reds...

    Pics of the babies! :)

    You can not care for a new born, no one can, only the mother or a foster mother...Baby bunnies can't survive without their mother..Some have tried to raise orphaned babies with mixed results.Some live but most do not...They need the mothers milk until at least 4 weeks, most do not ween until 6...

    Is this big enough for a Californian?

    You can devide the big hutch for two buns...I have two hutch type cage banks that work well at 3 x 3x 3 for does and one 3 x3 X2 for bucks..that is each hole.I don't have any sprayers though and my does are very mellow. :D I got my wire at Home Depot but it isn't heavy enough either. .

    My rant - partner getting a loan for car

    I just want to give you a warning so you will not fall into the same situation that my daughter did when she left the "father" (more like sperm doner) of her kids..Make sure nothing is in your name, no lease no utilities, nothing...Close out any accounts that he has access to even pay-pal..I...

    I Stink at Palpating! Show Me Your PG Doe!

    I can't do it either...most of my does start to show at about 20 days..the last 5 or 6 days they're pretty big.. :) that's when you can see the kits move..got to be patient though. ;)

    My rant - partner getting a loan for car

    I have been married for 35 years...I know how important it is to have common ground. But I think the most important thing is, What, and how much of it,are you willing to put up with?. My husband has always spent money anyway he wanted..mostly on himself...now that we have no money he is more...

    My husband got fired

    My heart goes out to you...My hubby lost his job about 5 years ago when the aircraft industry started to send jobs out of the country..He got some temporary jobs but that didn't hold out long, mostly because of his age..over 50 is now considered old. Everyone getting hired in that industry are...

    My bunneh haz melted...

    Nope no giant lops..my F.G.mix kits all do that..after about 7 weeks or so it's not so much..It's getting warm here too..so I see alot of floppy ears..It's funny to see the little 2 week olds all sprawled out in the big bunny pose, legs back and ears flopped off to the sides though.. :P

    What about a nail gun?

    Maybe try hanging it in the shower? I am in a rural are so no worries with anyone bothering us...My neighbor uses the old hatchet method. This just works for me. When I was a kid my step mom and her mom popped the head off a chicken by swinging it, the resulting blood bath was more than I could...

    What about a nail gun?

    I found a great way to dispatch chickens...Take a traffic cone (the orange rubber ones) cut off the top , about three inches..hang it in a tree. upside down, put the chicken in head out of the hole, this lets the blood flow into the head and kind of trances them..slit the throat on both jugular...

    What about a nail gun?

    No offense to the zinger folks..but you can get a less expensive bolt gun..My Ballistic cost 60 bucks before shipping and it is a really nice way to dispatch.. I would think a nail gun would be to powerful..and the noise of the air compressor would be to much for the bun..you want them calm...

    Bad Feed Once Again.

    I am thinking that it may be in the processing plant..if they don't clean with extra hot water and dry the machine. ..I know just a little moisture will mold feed. I use misters in the summer so I have to pull the feed and dry any moisture from the feeders...I have had feed turn to mush...

    Inbreeding?

    yep..ok so I got the breeding of parent/offspring. But lets say I have a big buck from litter #1, from dam A, If I breed buck #1 to Dam A , the resulting kits would be half sibs..so ok to breed to buck#1.. But not litter mates to each other is that right? what if the pairing is of two...
