In the middle tearing apart an old rabbit hutch. For those that asked about better pictures. of my rabbit cages. I will do step by step pictures Of this build. will also add close up pictures of the current rabbit hutches. When you build something always be thinking about what else it can be used for. Use screws so it's easier to take apart. To repair or to re-purposes.
Going to reuse the wire to make a new multi use grow out pen. The first occupants..... will be the drakes from this springs hatch. It will make it a whole lot easier when it comes time to send the drakes to freezer camp. Plus it will give me time to make sure I don't accidentally send a hen to freezer camp. I'm horrible at sexing chicks. So I have to wait to see who's who.

A very happy surprise today. I shoved a shriveled up sweet potatoe into a big pot with a cucumber plant. I got lots of vines. For the rabbits so I wad happy. I never thought I would get any sweet potatoes out of the deal. They don't look like much but I'm quite happy I got anything at all from them. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

It's kinda nice when your prepared and you didn't scramble.
The orchard has rabbit poo mulch on everything. The rabbit barn is cleaned up and looking good. I still have one last grow out pen to make. That for another day. The greenhouse is buttoned up as best I can. Extra water is already in barrels. Gas for the generator is good. Fire wood has been brought up. Water lines are drained. Shot I even got a good shower too. I think we're ready for the storm. The temperature hasn't dropped yet but boy is the wind blowing. Have a safe night everyone.

I try to not ask for anything. Weather your a Christian or of a different faith. I really need all the prayers we can get. My Son Aaron Dodds has been battling cancer the last 3 years. He hasn't said much lately. I know he's getting tired. He's an amazing son, father and grandfather. So please lift him up and wrap him in all the healing and love you can spare. This mama is hurting right now.

I need some advice.... miss pearl hatched a nest of eggs from my daughter in-laws chickens. ( I have no roo) how the heck do I get the new chickens to stop pooping in my nest boxes. This is a new one for me. I've had chickens for years. I've never had this problem before.

I'm still working in the barn. Hopefully today I will have all the rabbit cages cleaned and moved.then it's time to get all the old bedding cleaned out. Get all my bedding plant's and fruit trees with their winter blanket of rabbit goodness. Then get new bedding in the barn. Did you kown that in a Toyota 4runner you can fit 10 bales of pine bedding and 10 bags of pine pellet bedding.
Don't forget to ask at tractor supply for a price check from other farm stores. That normally saves me about 100 dollars every time.

As per usual I forgot to take pictures. I love my barn. But days like today not so much. I've got 4 rabbit hutches taken down cleaned and put back in their permanent spot.
I've got 3 rabbits from the same litter.they are the dirtiest rabbits I've ever had. The 2 bucks Davie and Bama p*e EVERYWHERE and on everything. 🤢🤢🤢🤢
Then there's little foot. She absolutely refuses to clean herself. So when the barn is done I'm going to bring that nasty girl in the house and give her a spa day.
With bubbles and a pedicure. Yes I give her a tub bath. The crazy rabbit loves getting in the tub. She will stretch out and almost fall asleep while I scrub her from one end to the other. Her favorite is getting dry. Wrap her up like a baby then get the blow dryer out to get her nice and warm and dry. Then put her next to the wood stove for the rest of the day. Homestead life you got to love it.❤️❤️❤️❤️
