*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* We have a lot of “revisions” and/or “revisitations” of ideas here on our little farm….. …..I’d rather call them “revisitations” instead of mistakes….. …..potatoes…potatoes….. …..(and again…that expression looses something in print)….. My original idea of raising meat rabbits hasn’t quite gone as planned….. I mean…the rabbits did just fine…it’s the project that didn’t launch as expected….. But I’m not giving up….. At the beginning…I had cut and J-clipped the wire cages together… I…

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* As promised….. …..the rest of the story….. When my daughter and I first made the turkey coop…..we buried hardwire cloth into the ground….. …..I thought it was to keep predators from digging into the coop and killing the turkeys….. Originally I never planned on putting rabbits in the coop….. But what’s that saying…..?….. …..while you’re busy making plans…..life happens….. And so…..the baby rabbits ended up in with the turkeys…

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* By that I mean…..the surplus roosters and rabbits….. Roosters are great….. I’m a big believer that every flock of chickens should have one….. But too many roosters…..are not fun…..not fun at all….. When I have an excess of roosters…..(which I always do)….. …..I offer some to my various friends…..(who live in “Deed Restricted Communities”)….. …..If they have neighbors who are giving them a hard time (with the slight-variant-hue that…

Remember that perfect world? …..the illusion….. The one that doesn’t exist? Remember last February when I bought two female bunny sisters to breed to my buck rabbit? Remember that prior to that….. …..(with my first foray into meat rabbits)….. …..that I actually had five boys and one girl….. …..(when it was supposed to be the other ratio)…..(?)…..

  I thought it would be all right now to show pictures of our bunny family.   They are old enough where I can be fairly sure that they are going to make it… I just don’t trust Jessica.       She still has those spinning eyes that worry me She just doesn’t look like she’s got all four paws on the ground.       All the rabbits have those fuchsia-pink-colored eyes……….so they already have that wild, unsettled…

  It’s Spring Time! No baby goats……………that means our fences are working…!!! After Hurricane Irma’s deluge of baby goats five months later (goat gestation)——-I’m glad to see that our fence is finally in good repair (for the moment). I need a break from baby goats. Itty-bitty, cavorting butt-heads. I’ve got the main incubator churning away in the dining room.  I have the secondary incubator set up & ready to go as a drying box at the end of the kitchen…

  The last three days I’ve spent finishing altering the rabbit’s hutches.     I had started months ago…………………but procrastination and the summer swelter made me keep putting off finishing the changes on the final two hutches.     I’ve been removing the bottom welded-wire and replacing it with wire that has wider apertures (so the bunny poop/Milk Duds can fall through and not get piled up in the cage’s corners.   The hutches are mounted on the side walls…

  Philosophy on Life     You Have to Keep moving Forward.   ********** There are other options, but I’ve found this one to be the most productive. And, I have always believed in productivity. My definition of what’s productive probably really differs from someone else’s…………………. But:  News Flash! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~My Blog~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My Definition~~~~~~~~~~~~ So here goes…………… I recently went to our Hunt Club’s Lobster/Kentucky Derby Party.
