Oh my goodness.... shame on Gracie. Hope that's not an omen because my own new peepot, paper shredder came with the name Gracie also! So far she's been pretty good.
Good to hear from you and congrats on the remaining bunnies!

Hey @Poka_Doodle, things are going good here. DD and SIL were here this weekend and we got the last of the rabbit growouts butchered, 7 nice plump bunnies in the freezer. got the compost bin moved over by the rabbit hutches and two of the goats bred. i let the older clutch of baby ducks out of the pen but kept the younger batch locked up and will keep them safe for another couple of weeks. @Ferguson K and @Baymule these picks are for you. all your talk about Muscovy ducks made me want to show off a little. two hens hatched 30 ducklings and have raised 25 of them. i have a lot of chocolate browns, a few black and white, a lot of different barred colors and some blues. i have no idea what I'm going to do with all these ducks

They make delicious ducken. If you have any small chickens. Or grilled. Or fried. Or cut up and put in a casserole. Cute ducks!!
Cute ducks!!

I guess I am gonna have to buy a Muscovy and butcher it and cook it. Have never eaten one. But I admire them and their ability to multiply, seems like they are the ultimate small farm animal. They forage for a lot of their food, brood and raise their young and have a lot of meat for their size. I butchered 17 Pekins that I raised, but as I understand it, the Muscovy has a dark meat. Hmmmm...... going to look for a duck on craigslist.....

Haha!
Ours, like most, are like rabbits when it comes to reproducing... We eat all of the young we don't sell.

youall i just read my post from way back in May and realized that the picture of gracie's rabbit kill didn't come thru so I'm gonna try again. don't be to mad at her or me... i had to laugh when i realized the picture wasn't there and i was imagining what youall thought.
had to go to the dentist and have a tooth cut out. I'm such a baby where dentist are concerned, i was scared to death but i lived thru it and when he asked me if i needed pain pills i saw naw, what!! was i thinking. now I'm eating ibuprofen like m&m's. did i mention I'm terrified of dentist..
picked the steer up from the butcher and stuffed it all in the freezer. fat happy freezer right now

OMG I had imagined blood splattered everywhere and fur/bloody pieces all over the floor! LMAO It was a STUFFED bunny!! Well, THAT'S a relief! Sorry to hear about your dental issues. I have a bunch as well but can't afford the cost of repairs. Would love full implants top and bottom but they wan $44K and I haven't got it. Dental insurance is about useless for any real work needing to be done. It barely covers a filling... You shoulda took the pain pills!! Normally when they offer them it's for good reason. Hope you feel better soon!Latest posts
