    When you say cottage laws...is that an official term? I hadn't heard it before. Thanks.

    Messybun’s Small starts big dreams

    You could feed the ducks and chickens nubia roaches from a nubia roach farm, I think? But it would get odd looks from your family and won't help anything. (And if they get lose you'll suffer a family faction hit big time.)

    Messybun’s Small starts big dreams

    Regarding the opening post... I think the best thing you can do is show the family how your projects will reduce the grocery budget considerably (and make sure they do), while also showing them how the grocery store prices are increasing exponentially. And its true also. 2020 potato price is...

    Sick calf...

    I think the 'loneliness cause' is worth looking at also. They aren't meant to be on their own at that stage. And even as adults some people think they aren't meant to be alone. How is his temperature? It is harder to set up cattle corals than duck partitions, so I don't envy the effort you...

    Rabbit behavior question...?

    Does it mean she's always going to be trying to eat my hand? And does it mean not using gloves isn't safe now? I feel confused by this. She is about 4 1/2 months I think. So what do you recommend as a solution? Thanks.

    Processing question; what you can use the fat for?

    So can I ask to compare notes with you all that have slim healthy rabbits of good size? By this, I want to ask you the cup size of pellets you use per meal? (As I'm kind of new I don't know if I'm getting it the way the veterans would.)

    Rabbit behavior question...?

    So I have this really sweet white new zealand young doe. When I go to her cage to touch her and interact with her she's been sort of nuzzling her head up against my hand. And she's very open in approaching me (probably for food). When I got her, the lady said she was the most friendly to...

    Picking up rabbits...?

    I hope not to. But if I pick this one bad tempered rabbit up...its a mess not sure what to do.

    Young buck behavior...

    So I have this one young buck that keeps tipping over his water bowl. Today it happened at lunch and then after the next meal. And yesterday also. Its starting to become a regular thing. I don't understand this...is it supposed to mean something? And what would you do?

    Picking up rabbits...?

    So I wanted to ask what you think about picking up rabbits. I heard some people say not to pick up rabbits by the back fur skin. And some say not to pick up by ears. But a lot of Youtube videos show people picking them up by both those methods on Youtube. So...does that mean it doesn't...

    Mallard ducks? (The original base species.)

    So I wondered if there's some value in doing the original base model mallard species? Don't they have some positive traits that might make them worth looking at? I can't help but be curious. There must be a reason they are able to thrive in the wild. And I'm also curious if they have good...

    Weird ducks...

    That's interesting. I had worried if that could be a problem with muscovies. But I do like them and how quiet they are. Isn't it also true that they are more individual in roaming and less pack oriented like other ducks? I hear muscovies are good moms usually.

    Processing question; what you can use the fat for?

    So I'm still getting into rabbits and new to this. I'm watching a Youtube video on how to process them. And in the video the person is saying rabbit fat tastes disgusting, but that if you wanted to in a survival situation you could feed the entire neighborhood with it. I'm wondering if there's...

    Rabbit eyes question?

    So I'd been curious about rabbit eyes and wanted to ask this and see you all think. Sometimes when I'm looking at youtube videos etc, some of the videos the rabbits in them, look like a lot of the eyes are almost sticking out of their skulls or a bit loose. Sometimes they looked like too much...

    Pruning fruit trees question

    So we have a few fruit trees in the back yard. They are amazing. The best part is getting free food. And the only work is...well actually I shouldn't say the only work, but there's not a lot of work except for processing the fruit at end of season and a small amount of pruning. To give you...

    What's the difference between female dominance and wrongly 'diagnosed gender'?

    Wow. Now I am beginning to understand what's meant when people say they are territorial. I guess I have to separate them soon. :O Thank you all very much.

    question on feed conversion!

    Wow. I liked your response. I didn't realize I could use their back bone as a sort of 'thermometer' for if they are eating enough. It makes sense.
