Thank you. Sounds fun to pick your mind on Embden geese too. They are so pretty in pictures. I'm curious what its like raising them. Are they as loud as people say? I'd heard people say some geese breeds aren't as loud as others.

I accidentally shattered one of these 5 gallon buckets on an icy morning. I was just trying to tap it on the ground to get the ice shook free and didn't realize I'd put too much pressure. And...the plastic can act like glass when its cold enough. Thanks for your thoughts, and to others also.

So I'd been using the typical 5 gallon buckets for water on my animals. They are the most economical and for most things they've always performed well. Until winter... They have a tendency to freeze through when it gets really cold. But to be fair most everything else does to. But this has...

Interesting. Thank you very much.

So I wanted to see what you thought about this. My ducks look really dirty. The outside water the city shuts off in winter, for fear of the pipes bursting or whatever. So we only have in the house water. (They call it pressurized irrigation and I guess part of the worry is if its already got...

So I get that some people are probably going to poke a little fun at this but its an honest question. I don't watch mainstream news. Its just really bad and you never know what's going on. I watch a wide variety of stuff. A lot of places are going to be totally crazy in the spring. And I'm...

Just wanted to ask this. I'm seeing huge price differences between the metal ones and plastic. And on a budget. I'd like the metal ones if I didn't have to be careful about money... Curious what you think. Thanks.

Thank you very much. So the kits ...what r the chances they'd get sick from this behavior? Is it rare or like guaranteed?

Wanted to ask this... How do you fix, doe using bathroom in her nesting box? And I think she is pregnant. (And if she is is it possible she didn't mean to do this?) (I'll need to confirm the pregnancy, but I did have her bred maybe 20 days ago.) I tried to pull the nesting box out of her cage...

And they always come back? They never try to find something else? Curious what you might say about this. It sounds fun what you described.

A separate but related issue is to address what kind of weight threshhold is needed first for the animal to be at to safely do this without causing some health problems. With horses, its considered necessary to not try to ride them too young that you cause them to be ruined. I don't know what...

So I wondered what you thought about this and I'd like to bounce this idea off you guys. Do you think the slow down in egg laying during winter for poultry is partly related to the lack of greens being available naturally? I was thinking about it today. And I'm not saying its the only issue...

So I thought this would be an interesting thing to ask you guys about. Do you guys use those old style thick leather gloves? I like these they are awesome. But there's one drawback in that after you are using them for a couple months the buildup of stuff caked into them makes the fingers so...

It kind of sounds like a lot of you go through a lot of feed each month? Is that the case? How much feed do most people use in a month?

So I got really curious to ask about this. I wondered if you think its a bad idea or sometimes detrimental to handle your rabbits after dark? What do you think?

I wish I'd taken more pictures of when they were small. That was really fun. But I guess I got too caught up in being turned off by cleaning up the brooder being gross.

Thank you.

If you do once a day feedings,... Won't they make more noise later in the day, from not spacing their food out through the day? I am trying to figure out how viable your idea is, but not cast any doubt on it. Will animals make more noise during the day in a once a day feed setup or a twice a...

I have a few welsh and some black runners. I'll try to get a pic ready. But this pic was when I first got them awhile ago. I should get something more recent.

Well a new question popped up. Haha. Amazing how so many things can come up. If you do 3 buckets of feed fermenting with each day being a bucket and cycling them, then it would generally mean 1 bucket is a morning feed and an evening feed if you are feeding 2x a day. So when I lug the...
