Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My lil' farm
Here is a sketch I threw together on how I think I want my little farm laid out.
Well.. it better be the way I want it cause come Monday we are pouring concrete for the chicken bunker. To many varments around my place likes the taste of chicken and Im not sharing.
After I get the concrete poured for the chickens I will move the forms over and pour for the rabbits. Not sharing those either.
Currently the only thing constructed is my shop. It's a insulated, heated, and air conditioned place to tinker. It's an 8x12.
I will build a processing work station onto the side of it. Here I will have a table with running water, my bird plucker, and anything else I can think of that fits within the processing needs. It will have a covered top and I am thinking of doing slideable translucent wall panels. This way everything stays out of the weather, but I can still work with plenty of natural light even if its raining. If its not raining then I can slide the panels and give myself some breeze.
The Bunny Barn will be a 10x10. At this time Im not sure how many bunnies I can put in there, but I bet its more than I need.
The Chicken Coop will be a 10x10. I have read that I can put 20 birds in a 10x10 coop, plus they will have a 10x10 covered outdoor run.
Next year I hope to have the Turkey Townhouse built. It will have a 10x10 coop and a 10x14 run. I am looking at geting only 2 or 3 turkeys, hopefully this will be big enough for them.
Last to be built will be the nursery. My plans for this is to have a place to incubate and raise up the chicks (both chicken and turkey). It is currently slated as a 10x20 but I actually have room to put two smaller 10x10 buildings there if I change my mind on the size and want to add another critter to the mix. I may also set up a section in there to raise up some bunnies for the next generation.
Anyhow... what do ya think of my little farm
