Hi - the long thread drift (which I am fine with) on keeping rabbits under the Fodder crises/Maunder Minimum thread on the Main Page got me looking and I didn't see a recent thread on small livestock and farm animals (including barn cats, sheepdogs, and other not food critters) so I thought I'd start one and see how it goes.
If it gets busy we can start individual threads for certain animals like rabbits or barn cats, but I thought to start simple and see if we can get this going.
Anyone who posted information on the main thread is encouraged to either copy and paste or post new versions on topics like fodder for rabbits etc.
Larger critters like goats, sheep, cattle, horses etc can be topics too; but a lot of people that don't have room for them (or zoning laws that prevent them) can have the smaller livestock (pigeons were really popular in Belfast during The Troubles, also quail and kept in urban apartment complexes on the roof).
Also encouraged are links to build your own pages for hutches, pens, sheds etc; watering hacks, etc, etc.
OK let her rip!
I'll be back later to add some things when I get a few moments to do so
