We have water again! Tomorrow I will buckle down and get some butchering done. Just 2 weeks before the first Deer Park Farmers Market and I have dog treats to make! All natural dog treats made from 1 ingredient: rabbit. Most dogs that are allergic to chicken are NOT allergic to rabbit. It is a lean meat so you can spoil your pet without having to limit their food. I dehydrate muscle meat as well as organ meat and I make a food topper as well. Get ready to spoil your pups!

Chickens can be out-right mean. I went to collect eggs and she was not having it! Usually they just peck and grumble. Not this time! She grabbed and twisted! Well, joke's on her! I'm bigger and was in no mood to be pushed around by a chicken. I pulled her out of the nest box and collected all 10 eggs that were in there.

Duck vs chicken eggs. Duck eggs are bigger, have a larger yoke, and have a stronger shell. Duck eggs can do anything chicken eggs can do and they can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio. Duck eggs make things fluffy. From scrambled eggs to cookies. They fluff up whatever you are making. Duck eggs taste different from chicken eggs. They are richer, creamier, and have a bigger 'egg' taste. Everything a chicken egg does a duck egg does better and with more flare, just like the ducks they come from.

It has taken 2 years to get to this point. Nick is about 2 years old, full lab, and his kryptonite is chickens. He can't be around them without killing them. He has no interest in ducks, just chickens. He has had to wear a muzzle each and every time he comes out of the dog pen. Today I decided to give him another chance and see where he was. He spent the whole time without a muzzle and he did great! He went after 1 chicken but with a correction was able to spot the impulse. It takes time and consistency and I will always be careful with him around chickens but it is possible to work with a dog who has a history of killing. It might not work for every dog but for this one it did, finally. Who's a good boy!!!

People have so many wild theories about eggs. Can you eat the eggs if you have roosters? Am I going to open an egg and find a chick in it? Can you eat the first egg a chicken lays? Why is the yoke so yellow? Let's g...

Interesting egg yesterday. It had a hard shell coating but still was elastic like a soft shell. You could put dips in it and wrinkle it as well. I also bounced it 4 times into the dog's food dish before it broke open. After the first few times of dropping it the outer shell started coming off! So wild.

Remember that eggs are an organic thing, meaning that mistakes happen and glitches come out. Just like no 2 people are the same, even identical twins, no 2 eggs will be the same. Some will be bigger, some smaller, some will be different colors!

I am technologically challenged so I am looking for help. I can't message anyone from the business page I created. I can only message them from my main profile. Is there a way to fix this? Please help!

The rabbits got an upgrade! New nest boxes for everyone. I hope they like them. I'm a day ahead of schedule, we should see kits by the weekend!

The dog treats snowballed when my dogs and I couldn't keep up with the amount of rabbit I was producing. I started just feeding the dogs straight rabbit but it was too up and down. I would have to wait for litters to g...

Some common questions I get: are they really messy? How do you keep their water clean? What do you do during the winter?
