The result from feeding your rabbits fresh vegetables! I am guessing cucumbers?

Kahu had her first training session with her Halo collar. It went very well. I also have a perimeter fence but it is not LGD proof.

After 7 years of dreaming of a mud free barn area, Phillips’s Outdoor Services dug out the area and replaced the dirt with shell sand. He dug a small swale going to the pond for the water to flow. My animals will be so happy 😁

We took in 27 rabbits from a hoarding situation. We will be rehoming them and culling some. One had a pr*****ed testicle and one with a growth on his testicle. Most are in pretty good condition.
They were literally living on top of a 2’ stack of manure and digging tunnels in it.
It is a truly sad situation. They seem overwhelmed to be in clean cages with lots of room.

In other news the reign of terror of foxes eating my fowl is about to come to an end. We are getting a LGD next weekend, a 6 month Great Pyrenees. I am naming her Kahu, Hawaiian for protector of precious things.

Homestead updates. Somehow 2 of my baby ducks drowned in 2” of water. The other2 and the 6 chicks are doing very well and growing like mad.
One of my bucks, Petah passed away with no warning 😭 He was much loved. With farming comes death. I am keeping one of his sons to carry on his legacy.
I built 3 cages using 14” mental grids someone was throwing away! I used metal clips to join them. The door latches came free with the grids. I bought the 1x1/2” wire and metal support rods for the bottom. Buckwild Fabrication and Machine bent the rods for me. Thanks Jeremy Council! They measure 42x28x14. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure! This is what homesteading is all about.
Changes coming soon. I got a quote to dig out around the barn and have draining materials brought in. After 7 years it’s finally going to happen 💜
I am also looking at getting a carport to house all of my rabbits under one roof. That will make my routine so much easier. I am hoping to have room for a processing station too.
