UPDATE: No updates lol so far no babies, just trying to finish up some never ending projects, and get the poultry outside finally (before the ducks get strangled lol!!!! Dont ever keep them in your house!!!) :P Hope everyone is doing well. Soon going to have some nice spring pics of the trees...
Dispatched and butchered my first two rabbits (culls from a pet/show breeder, older rabbits) You cannot tell me this does not look amazing!!! And it was absolutely delicious. Crockpotted them in BBQ sauce for 6 hours and it was falling off the bone. Unfortunately, dinner was already planned, so...
Thanks!! The creepy red laser eyes makes it easier lol No cool colors to want to keep, they all look ugly, etc. processor preferred white pelt lol I love them, but ill love them more in my belly lol
Picked up my meat rabbits today!!! One young buck, two young does, and an older proven doe. She was in with the buck, so she might be pregnant already. All NZW with laser eyes lol. I think they will have Watership Down names. Seems fitting to me.
When it gets that "fun" they go outside lol !! They have a giant kiddie pool for the brooder when they get too big for the tub they are in...I just hope Jon finishes the room we were redoing for the critters.
All ducks are doing well, I almost didn't sleep I wanted to keep checking on them! I feel like a momma hen lol They are pretty much the messiest critters I have right now. They looooove making a mess. Good thing they are cute.
Sorry I haven't been active! Ducklings arrived this morning!!!!
They are so adorable and amazing and I cannot stay away lol! I finished my rabbit area, and I plan to pick them up on Monday, so more pics to follow if all goes well (:
I'm so glad she is. Its hard to know how much work, or what it will be like owning animals you've never even really seen being cared for in action. I like to make sure i have everything planned out first, and its been wonderful learning about them and especially seeing the babies, thats the fun...
I'm glad you found a home for them! You are lucky because if you couldn't sell them....well....lets say Jonathan would be building a fence sooner than he thought lol. They are so freaking adorable! I cannot wait to have goats, and to see more of your babies to come!
I have a frenchie on the porch now, and she loves it. My only concern is for my meat rabbits since kits are not good with cold at all and it saves them from the fishers and other predators that might get in the porch through the screens. Plus...having tea out on your porch with friends/family...
I wish!!!! it might not be permanent for the rabbits, so we aren't doing to much remodeling...so no drain. ): i am glad i get to do this much for them lol especially since at first they might have been piled out on the enclosed porch hahaha
Our motels are like separate units - we call them cabins. The bakery in in the main building that has the store, and the motel office. With all these businesses in one, we really do keep ourselves busy! Its rewarding, but can be very tiring too.
This is literally just the beginning (really nothing to do with the rabbits themselves) the floor was destroyed in this unit so we needed to lay down something to protect the foundation of the building. We could either add lino, or just spray the waterproof stuff we used int the chicken coop to...
