I'm sorry but it isn't harsh but the only way to keep the good mothers. 20yrs ago I was a smaller breeder of Angoras, with 80 does and the babies. A doe who kills her first babies will do it again and again. They are missing the "mothering" trait, and if you keep them it will become worse,...

In Italy and many other other places in Europe laws such as these are generally seen as guidelines - feeding chickens kitchen scraps, killing and butchering your own animals on site and selling your excess to neighbours, friends and wholesalers is the norm. If a law makes no sense then everyone ign...

I'm keeping some beehives and have a small plot for herbs and veggies but always struggling with slugs and snails (don't want to poison them because I have also some hedgehogs around). For this year I'm considering a container garden in my fr...
