    We got 80 broiler chickens 3 will got to FFA fair, the rest will get slaughtered. We have over 60 baby rabbits right now, 3 are going to fair the rest are getting slaughtered, plus 3 more that should be pregnant. We planted 6 trays that hold 72 seeds each with all kinds of things. Going to plant them as soon as the frosts are over. We planted a bunch of comfrey (look it up if you want to feed your livestock). We are about to order a bunch of willow, you can plant it in 5 year rows for firewood, and you can make lots of things out of it, from living fences to furniture. We also plan to plant some large bamboo to make things out of. Just need to buy the barrier so that it does not spread.

    We also built a large rabbit colony that we will start keeping all our rabbits in when it is not county fair time.

    Careful with willows... they grow quick, propagate quicker, and infest even quicker. their roots WILL find water, even if it pushing up through your ponds. or foundation...

    Awesome about the bunnies! nom nom nom.

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    We have a 2 acre field about 200 yards from the house that we will plant them in. That way we can control them with the tractor if needed. They wont be any where near the house.
