Chickens and rabbits really bring out the prey drive in dogs.

Chickens are scavengers. They can and will eat almost anything. They do avoid things that are bad for them.

I have no idea what to tell you. I hope she is better.

People who breed and show top quality rabbits eat a lot of rabbits. They keep only the best from each litter.

I would suggest you get the book, Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits by Bob Bennett. Then find the farm advisor's office and get the information available on the 4H rabbit projects.
