Merry Christmas to you too Carol Dee!

So, I've been gone a long time! Bad me! I know! I need to have a switch taken to me!! ;) So, I'll catch you all up!! I got a job with vfem! Best job ever btw! We did finally end up getting rabbits. We have a buck and 3 does. We have Barney, Nora, Lilly, and Monster. I'm REALLY wanting to get...

Living in NC, "land o the peanut", I can literally just go to the grocery store and buy raw peanuts in bulk. People around here boil them. They are DELICIOUS that way! Took this Northerner a while to even try them, but when I did I was HOOKED! You just take a big pot, put the whole peanuts in...

Well... I've talked to a few people today.. one of which was the lady we got some of our rabbits from. She said that a lot of times first time mommies are very confused as to what to do, and that quite a few of them will lose their first litter even if everything is right. She said that I should...

This was her first litter. It was a pretty big litter for her first one too!! Sadly, the other 2 didn't make it. :( I'm going to chalk this one up to inexperience on both our parts and rebreed her probably this weekend, then she can have the rest of the summer off until fall. A friend is...

Well... the only bad part about that was, she was sharing a cage while we finished our rabbitry. I didn't want her to kindle in with another rabbit. :/ Everything is done now, except we have to get the roof finished and the tarps put on (which will have to be done today because we have a...

So... we had bred our rabbit Robin to Barney, and she was due to kindle her first litter last night. Well, yesterday we moved her into a new cage with a next box and all the things that she was going to need to kindle and raise babies for the next 8 weeks. I was so certain that last night was...

That's a good idea about the sundial! I have no idea if it would be accurate or not... LOL We're going to put in a fence around the garden, and it would be close to the fence. I as just thinking bird bath so it could give the bees and butterflies water. We don't really want any birds in there...

So, I was just wondering, can you plant onions and garlic together in the same bed? We've already got our garden MOSTLY planted for this year, but, I'm trying to plan for expansion for the garden this year (hopefully), and I was thinking along one side I could plant garlic, onions, and...

When you find out how to keep ducklings clean... you let me know!! ;) They ARE cute... just REALLY dirty!! :lol: The weather has been decent... LOL It's been nicer this time of year. It was gross and rainy today. I didn't like it at all!!! I had some SOAKED chickens going to bed tonight! LOL

OH! And I just went out to do the nightly feeding, and one of my Buckeyes is setting on a clutch of 6 eggs :ya :celebrate :weee

I missed you guys too!! :hugs :love Spring has definitely sprung here in NC!! The last couple weeks I've felt like death warmed over because of allergies, and one of my friends was over last night and she went to the doctor today and sent me a text that she has the flu! :he I also just noticed...

I've had a google account for 10 years... ;)

Yes yes... I'm sorry... I kinda stink at keeping up with things sometimes!! ;-) So... new things around here... hmmmmmmmmmmm Got the bunnies outside! (Sorry Marshall.. we traded you for a doe we named Nora. ;) Our next Buck will be Marshall tho!) I'm already planning on going BACK up north to...

It won't let me place my pin :(

Haha!! Yes... we have a bunny named Marshall. :P I did find out that they are brother and sister (the pairs, not to each other... LOL) so, I think we're going to have to find another buck of each. :/ I didn't realize that some of these rabbits were so expensive!!

Robin Lily Barney Marshall

Actually... they're on the top side... fairly accessible from what I hear. I was talking to our county extension agent a couple weeks ago at a class, and we were talking about chickens, my son was standing close and she mentioned how she couldn't have a rooster in the city, and my son pipes up...

haha! I'm not sure!! It seems amazing that they can be SO big and fit in such a tiny little egg. :-)

I'm pretty sure that that little duckling is a Pekin Khaki Campbell cross. She has a darker head and a couple streaks of dark on her back and then ONE dark, almost black, dot on her butt!! LOL I'll try to take some more pictures later. I got one more that hatched, but isn't dry yet, and one more...
