Critter Report
With every new critter added to the collection comes the need for accommodations. After several hours contructing 2 lovely rabbit houses, and attaching 2"x4" wire as caging, we placed the rabbits inside their new houses, only to watch them squeeze quite easily through the wire. So the next day the project continued, but this time we put on 1"x1" caging. That kept them in. The bunnies keep growing and daily they flip over their feed container, wasting as many pellets as they eat. Maybe tomorrow Ill get that fixed haha. A set of laying hens in bad need of some rehab were added to the collection. They were in with 4 beautiful banty roosters but they rode the ladies steady (that's why the one little hen has very few feathers.) Now on their own Im hoping they'll get the reprieve they need, and still lay some eggs for me in the meantime. That was what made me take them - in hopes of getting eggs now! Plus the 2"x4" wire is being repurposed for the laying hens house and it wont go to waste. We also built them a little hut for protection from the elements and it can double as a nest box hopefully. I guess I better limit myself soon of Ill have the whole countries chicken culls in my backyard...
