I'm looking for:
●Chainlink dog kennels - must be 6' tall, the other dimensions don't matter much
●Rabbit hutches - they can need some work, but they must have larger well placed doors for easy access and/or a lift up top
● Rabbit/chicken tractor - it must have an elevated "house" part (or a place with a floor)

The closer to Cadillac, Michigan the better. (49601)

Here is another side to farming and having livestock. Since I was immediately able to get my guinea hen after she was struck and k!lled by a car I decided not to let her go to waste.
White guinea chili for dinner. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Guinea is actually very tasty.

To the person who purposely sped up and swerved to hit my guinea, shame on you! Do better and have a little more compassion for living beings. Jerk.
To the lady who stopped and let me know (and called 911 even), bless you. I felt bad that you felt so bad. I'm sorry you had to see that.

Bruno, you taught us so much about what it means to have natural ability. You didn't start your life as an LGD, but you took to the role like you'd been doing it forever. There was never a misstep, you were an absolute blessing in our lives. You weren't much for strangers, but you loved me and your charges fiercely and that's all that matters. I am honored to have been your family. I'm comforted knowing I have 2 of your beautiful daughters to carry on. You will be missed terribly.

The little pigs still fit under the gate. Maybe they think they're sheep?

Don't tell my girls they are supposed to prefer grazing over browsing. 🤫

When feeding rabbits without pellets, variety is key.

Here are some things we feed our rabbits, all harvested from our property.
Grass (lots of Timothy and orchard)
Comfrey
Dandelion
Red clover
White clover
Sunchokes/Jerusalem artichokes (aerial parts)
Sunflowers
Raspberry leaves
Mallow(cheeseweed/malva neglecta)
Chicory
Plantain (broadleaf and longleaf)
Mulberry leaves
Spotted knapweed
Catnip
Peppermint
Spearmint
Stinging nettles (wilted)
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
Annual culinary herbs (basil, Sage, time, etc)
Asparagus
Lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album)
Mullein

I'm sure I've forgotten something that I won't remember until it starts growing for the season.

NOTE/DISCLAIMER: The above items are generally considered safe for rabbits, however please do your research. Many things should be fed in moderation, some things may have unsafe parts of the plant (ie seeds or fruits), some may have unsafe stages of growth (ie after a frost, overgrown, fresh vs wilted, etc)
