Southern By Choice, I absolutely love my turkeys too! I have a couple different breeds that I raise so have a couple Toms, hence separate pens. It is totally true that the hens do not like to be cooped up, they are always escaping. I am worried about predators and the road though (and people...
This is exactly the kind of post of looking for! I was wondering if anyone here feeds fodder and hay exclusively to rabbits? I sprout barley right now and was curious about the comment about feed with too much barley for chickens? I had not run into that before. The feed mix I use right now is...
I have chickens and turkeys together. Once in awhile my big tom and my big rooster will have "words" but I have 3 separate pens plus some free range so I rotate them until I find a combination where everyone pretty much gets along. Other than the occasional "words" between the dominant...
Citylife, yeah, that would be great. It will probably be a month or two before I can get any but it would be good to know if they plan to breed or have some little ones that will be ready in the a bit. Thanks!:)
Hi, thanks! That is good to hear. I am looking forward to expanding after I have my new rabbitry set up. You, unfortunately are a little far from me!:tongue I am on the east coast, Delaware!
Yeah, they will be just pets, no plans to breed or anything. I figured a horse stall type shed would be good?.
Also, is it better to get two females or two males or a pair? Are males or females more friendly in general? I know with rabbits, males tend to be a bit cuddlier than females in...
Hello all,
I am hoping to buy a place soon and right now I have a little over an acre with a barn of rabbits and a bunch of featherheads. When I buy a place I won't be able to get a lot of land but hope to have an acre of land just for Alpacas and sheep...just a couple of each for the wool...
Well that is good to know! Thanks! I am seriously thinking of getting a few breeders after I move and have a bigger rabbitry. The blue and white girl I have is adorable and very sweet.
I currently raise mainly Silver Fox and Harlequins and have added red and black New Zealands to the Harlequins for growth. I found a really sweet American Blue doe and am thinking of getting a couple more since they are a rare heritage breed but was wondering what folks thought of them as...
sawfish99, I know this is a very very old post, but I use the rabbit furs for crafts and if you ever have a bunch you want to get rid of, I would happily take them off your hands, paying for overnight shipping and an ice pack.

Unlabled Mama, are you still looking for Standard Rex? I have a very sweet buck that I just don't have a real use for in my breeding program. I had thought to get into Rex but ended up raising Harlequins instead.
Send me an email if you get this and you are still looking. I am in southern, DE...
Hello,
I just rejoined here after being off the lists for awhile. I raise Silver Fox here in Delaware and am always on the lookout for new lines. I think you are about 4 hours away from me but I have a friend in the Winchester area. Where did you get your Silver Fox from? Mine are from...
