BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

[Henrietta23]

Normal is over rated..............I love goat stories. When the chickens fly ontop of coops I get that same feeling.........

Mine have done that too. The worst was last winter when my younger hens saw snow for the first time. They all went running out of the coop/barn and pen, freaked out and went under the coop/barn and wouldn't come out. We couldn't reach them. It was cold and snowy. DH, DS and me, all on our hands and knees with rakes and long handled pool skimmers trying to shoo them out. What a nightmare! I finally got smart. Concentrate on getting the rooster out first and the hens are more likely to follow him.

I got that feeling again the other day when I dropped one of the juvenille rabbits on the ground. Luckily she was so dumbfounded to be free I caught her quickly. I almost had a heart attack tho...........

I was wondering what happened with the kits? I may have missed it but the last I remember was you thinking they were going to give birth soon. Did that work out?

It will be time to breed my rabbits for the first time in a couple weeks.

Glad you are feeling better I just got over a cold myself.. NOT FUN!

With rabbits I've found if you handle them from birth a lot they typically are easy to catch... many come right up to you thinking you may have a treat... hehehe but if you go a week or 2 without handling them then look out! it's crazy trying to catch those fast little suckers! hahaha
