The Bunny Plan…(Revised)

The Bunny Plan…(Revised)

*******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…

***Rascally Rabbit***

*******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…

…..And They Went On Down the Road…..

…..And They Went On Down the Road…..

*******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…

~~~The Smooth-Coated Terriers~~~

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* Like I said earlier…..I raised my two daughters like they were puppies….. To this day…..I refer to them as my smooth-coated terriers….. …..(those of you who have had terriers know what I mean)….. …..(terriers are only different from us because of their lack of opposable-thumbs)….. …..(they’re smarter than a lot of people I’ve met)….. I think my kiddos turned out pretty okay….. I didn’t resort to books or guru…

~~~Bunny Genitalia~~~

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)…..(?)….. Remember that?….. Well………….. …..surprise!….. …..the recent acquisition of bunnies weren’t sisters…..(!)….. …..how do I know this…..(?)….. …..because suddenly…..and without warning….. …..we had a…

Jessica & Roger’s Family

  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…

Baby Ducks; Baby Chickens; Baby Rabbits

  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…

  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. I kind of had to………….I was on the Committee. Really, it was just a committee…

Mr. Goat Went On Down The Road………….

Mr. Goat went on down the road.  ***Note to world:  Do not let your arm get between the horns of a goat with an attitude.  This is what they want to do and try to do.  All it takes is one quick head jerk/your arm is wedged in the middle/one more quick head twist/& Bob’s you Uncle……………….(?)……………….Bob get out of here!!!  You had nothing to do with this………………No, you have a severely damaged &/or broken arm.  And a grinning goat….
