We have both and yes they really do well with each other (chickens LOVE rabbit insides). We live on just a little over an acre and a half and have dogs around as well as cyotes in the area but we seem to make it work. We use everything we can so as not to waste (even restuffed a pillow with some...

just wanted to chare a photo of my new chicks. They were all born today!

Just wanted to share this. We brought home three new chickens today (we lost a few to the heat), two black marans and one blue. Our french copper rooster was very VERY happy to see the new additions. He was trying to mount them just as soon as we got them in the pen. He was walking around with...

I had noticed that one of them was mounting as a dominance thing but I am sad to say that we lost the one that was the most aggressive. A dog knocked the feeder out and he got out..we found him in the yard with a broken neck. I have tried breeding but so far nothing. Not sure if i am doing...

i got peppers and broccoli and peas and matters...i was very happy with what i got. Thank you everyone

got my seeds today...thank you guys so much

As some of you remember, my mother bought my son some rabbits for easter and we have some that we are going to breed as well. The ones that are the "pets" have started fighting for some reason. We have kept them together for a few months now with no problems until last week. I noticed today that...

Whoot! so excited! can't wait to see what we got.

I have found down here that with jellys and jams you need to offer a sugar free option...lots of little old ladies have told me they would but it if it were sugar free. I don't know about you but I can't seem to make a homemade sugar free jam to save my life but maybe you know some tricks. Good...

I know that tomato leaves are not good for bunnies but I was wondering if it would be ok to give the okra leaves that i trim to my fuzzy ones?

it doesn't make you a chicken to be concerned about your family. It can be very scary to think about what if we lose our home or starve. It is a hard thing to do but only you can decide for you.

No one has really addressed the issue of the rabbits. Yes there are some things growing wild in our yard that they can eat and LOVE (never thought I would be so happy to have dandelions) and yes I am growing some lettuce for them right now but trust me they go through it quickly. Any ideas on...

Last year my husband and I found ourselves in a very tough position, we both lost our jobs at the same company and he was able to find another one right away. After searching and searching we sat down and figured out that it was costing us MORE for both of us to work than it was for just one. By...

um....sure...that was from me :cool::D
