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.

chickens as a supplament
I was curious how many of you out there use chickens as as alternative to rabbits? I find chickens useful with picky retics or animals that have been off feed for some time. your thoughts?

i think it is healthy to try and mix in different foods every now and then, in between rabbit feedings. i happen to have a couple retics that are very picky and tough to get on different prety items. i have one that is, or should be, easy to mix the variety up every so often.

i used to mix in chickens when i was low on rabbits, every once in a while. The only problem i have with them is that the after "product" is SOOOOOO messy. You see they dont digest the quill portion of the feather and they get EVERYWHERE. But she loved them for sure. She was just as eager to feed on chickens as she was on GP's, piglets and rabbits.

I never really noticed an issue with the quills but you are definately right about messy. The soupy bi-product isnt that fun to clean up.

Back when I had a big retic, I made the mistake of picking up a few ducks for her at the livestock auction...OMFG!!! She crapped quills for over a week, and (quills aside) what a nasty, foul smelling mess. Never did it again.
