    Rabbit Breeds Suggestions?

    Hello! I'm planning on getting rabbits in the pretty distant future (like minimum 4 years away yet) and I was wondering what breed people would recommend for me. I've kind of done some research but I haven't really fallen in love with anything yet. They would be mainly meat rabbits for my dogs...

    Can you use edible flowers if your chickens free range?

    Hi! A lot of my birds free range and it’s brought up a question. Can identified edible flowers still be used if your birds free range? If you know anything about Upstate NY in May a lot of our fields are covered in Dandelions and I would like to make some jelly. I would of course be cleaning and...

    Starting this thread to record the progress of turning a wheat field into a garden/chicken paradise. At least that is my goal... we shall see how it turns out.

    Newbie Introduction

    Hello all, I’m a newbie in the community of chickens. I’ve had two hens for about a year now but I got them as adults and now I’ve recently added 3 Wyandotte pullets who are 2 months and 2 straight run Splash Ameraucana’s who are almost a month and a half. So it’s a mystery to see if I got two...

    Please share your tips and tricks! Any homesteaders out there? Anyone trying to live sustainably or off the land?

    What are your goals in hobby farming or homesteading? Off grid? On grid, but no grocery store food? Just the best parts of all lifestyles? I think that homesteading and sustainable living is about community - none of our ancestors did it alone! They had the wisdom passed down to them. We've...

    Hello from Hemmingford, Qc, Canada

    :frowHi everyone! My husband and I bought our homestead last summer. We did have a small hobby farm when we were in our 20s with chickens and some hens. This time it’s a bit more complicated as we added rabbits and ducks. Ducks… oh boy! :wee We have now about 55 of them. Plus the drake (Winston)...

    Duckie Cafe

    I love, love, love my ducks, but am not a fan of stinky, wet messes. The idea of having a feeding and water coop in the duck run rattled around in my mind for a few days. I know we don't have the room outside, so why not build a duck cafe inside? I waited almost a week to post these photos...

    I Love having Chickens

    From first chicks to first eggs, and every grain and pellet in between. I absolutely LOVE having and raising Chickens. The waiting for the first eggs and one by one filling an egg carton. Trying to bake something special with each one. The Rewarding factor is amazing, and best expressed in the...

    Hi from North Carolina!

    Hi y'all! The name is Katie. I have been raising chickens for two years now and have loved EVERY second of it. What started as an original flock of 5 laying hens I found on Craigslist turned to a flock of 17 in less than my first week. :D It's safe to say I fell in love with them. My husband and...
