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...

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...

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 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...

Last night my 4 year old asked me for a "huggle" :in_love: I just can't get over how adorable of a word that is! (hug + snuggle)

I am currently in zone 7a/7b (close enough to the line I can't quite tell where we fall). We're going to be moving in late summer/early fall to 6a (eastern panhandle of WV). It's not a drastic difference, but enough of one I am not sure what I need to change. I have just now gotten to the point...

I have sold rabbits before, no big deal... but they were the offspring of my breeders. The only breeders I don't have are ones that had to be culled for health reasons. I haven't ever passed on one that I have named, gotten to know, etc. I am not lovey dovey with my rabbits, mainly because I...

Ok, sounds silly for someone that owns two houses to ask how to go about buying one, but for the first it was DH's ggma's and was cheap so it wasn't a huge deal... far cheaper than rent (paid for now). Second one was family land gifted to us, then we built. (PSA - hindsight is 20/20, don't build...

DH's job... very stable, great employee, to the point that he now has several different route options for his career :shock: . One is a global position meaning travel to China, Germany, Mexico, Costa Rica, and various places around the US. It would be a week every other month, and more the...

Ok, technically not an animal for this category, but close enough :lol: ODD wants bees - and is getting really excited about it. DH's cousins know a couple of people we are going to try and visit for some beginner info. I am leaning toward a top bar hive for a variety of reasons - anyone else...

Trying to ease my wild thoughts - my 4 year old just came out complaining that his "leg" hut - he has a swollen and very tender lymph node (maybe 2) in his groin area. Normally I wouldn't think huge amounts of it, but I know a lady whose son was originally diagnose with "spider bites" in the...

Not sure what happened... I don't have exact dates (it was a spur of the moment breeding as we were heading out of town, and the does haven't been cooperative at.all so I didn't expect much), but she started nesting several days ago and usually she is a nest-then-babies in a short amount of...

I know the typical meat breeders are in the 10-12 lb range as adults, around 5 lbs for 12 week olds, dressing out in the 2.5 lb-ish range (more or less... when I tracked percentages I was getting on average around 53% with just the meat and bones, no organs or anything). I have 2 NZ, 2 Am. Chin...

I am getting closer and closer to taking the woolie plunge! I am not sure about housing though. My current rabbits are pretty standard meat breeds and are housed in hutches tucked back in the trees and I use shade cloth in the warm months plus a fan to keep air circulating (so the heat doesn't...

This is the one available for $175 (mentioned in the other angora thread, didn't want to hijack) - I don't know anywhere near enough about them to even know if all the parts are there... I see where you feed the wool through, and the hooks for guiding it. The pedal goes up and down to move the...

Cruising craigslist, just for some mindless entertainment I guess :roll: and came across this posting - DH looked over my shoulder and asked what they were - ummm, no idea! They're not really brokens, not really Dutch markings... they are pretty even and consistent throughout so... I don't...

After searching CL off and on for months with next to zero angora options anywhere close to locally, a couple popped up today! One of which is a satin angora buck... can someone tell me more about their day to day care? I know FA is one of the easier to tend to, and it sounds like they are...

Anyone every tried the upper ear piercing for possible migraine relief? (it's a pressure point). I have read/heard mixed results. The more often I have them, the more I am tempted to try it. DH's cousin's wife wants to do it too so we might go together. My biggest hesitation is that my ears have...

There is a mini donkey farm in TN - Half Ass Acres. LOVE it! I can't stop giggling :lol: . Totally NOT a curse word in that usage, but still SO awkward to say :oops: :roll: It's like signing a couple hymns in church that have the word "ass" in them... (I used to cuss like a sailor, until...

Random request, I know :lol: I am planning out fencing options for the chickens, pigs, and my garden areas... I have some ideas, but then get stumped on easy access for going in and out. I don't want to spend a fortune on actual gates and latches if I can rig up something else. We're out in...
