Every time I see your duck pond...

Oh man I need one, do you accept credit? lmao

haha my sister in-law wants me to build it as a swimming pool her her I'd a lot differently if I have to do it again... start with digging and using 4x4 instead

The bunnies are super cuddly cute. What do you do with them? Are they pet or livestock?

Sorry I haven't replied, it's been a while since I have visited forum. I only use my work computer and I've been busy the last few months.

We raise these rabbits for mainly meat, my daughter showed some at the county fair recently. She has other rabbits as "pets", a large French Lop and a couple Polish.

My young chicks have started laying recently (born in Feb), we went from 2 eggs per day to 8-12 a day, giving them away now.

Got my first egg today, yay!!!
My Buff O. has been in and out of the nesting boxes for the last few days, then she goes and drops the egg right in front of the entrance door...go figure

Compost pile is also another good place for extra vegies, use it to grow more! *sustainable living* but im all for the donating to the church I love that idea.

You can freeze eggs. Winter when chickens stop laying you will be looking for eggs. Remove the shells and freeze in ziplock bags.

I hate that so much, same with puppys to. It annoys me so much, some states have made a "you need to buy more than six" law (here in Arkansas they did) so you CANNOT without breaking the law buy 1 chicken (idk if it applies to local places, like someones house) from say Tractor supply, you need six plus. (this applies to ducks, etc)
