Expected Litters

Summer 2002.
This was right after we set the old chicken coop up as a Rabbitry. We hung a unit of coops on the outside wall to the right, and it holds 8 Mini Rex. There is currently a drop(made from a pond liner) in front of the 8 hole unit to keep off sun, and we also capped the end.
Due to the merger of Blue in the Face with Midori no Daichi, we have slightly over grown our space, and purchased 48 new indoor stacking hutches for the overflow of show stock. The Chicken coop will once again be converted, but this time instead of holding the rabbits, it will be the new Goat Shed :) We are using the basement of one of our rental apartments as a Rabbitry, and we have 25'x50' of usable rabbitry space. We are now equipped with electricity, and since the temperatures do not go below 50* in the winter, we can have year round breeding to enhance our project with lighting on controlled timers. Currently there are about 70 holes in the basement, with an additional 20 outside that will need to be prepped and moved into the basement, and we still have about 50 holes worth of expansion space...this is quite nice!

We currently have 5 mixed breed laying hens and a single purebred white Silky hen, and these gals just run a muck and do as they please. They are EFFECTIVE fly control in the spring/summer/fall months, and since they are free range, lay quality eating eggs...when you can find them!

We have also expanded to Dairy Goats, and will have photo's of them as soon as time permits. We have 1 grade doe, and a purebred American Toggenburg buck. Their kid's will be eligible for Recorded Grade registration status upon their birth. We also have 2 new doelings, and a hot tamale of a replacement herd buckling, all also registered with the ADGA. Recorded grades are sometimes referred to as "Experimentals', as they broaden the gene pool, and many time can be more prolific not only in the breeding shed, but in the milk pail as well. We will have goat's milk for sale as PET FOOD only, and upon local demand. The Chickens THRIVE off of goat's milk as a treat, and most animals can drink goat's milk as a quality replacer. Email me if you are interested in any! The goat's are vaccinated against Rabies, CD&T, and CL, and in August 2007, our ENTIRE herd tested negative for CAE, CL, Johnes, and Brucellosis. If you are interested in purchasing a goat kid as a pet, or for show, please do not hesitate to email us. We have registered our herd name with ADGA, and will forever be known as " Udder Insanity", and our goatie website can be viewed by clicking our herd name :)
