Just wanted to say 'Hello!'

Post: # 174036Post scattycatt »

I'm new and thought I better say hello!

I'm a stay at home mum of 4 kids (4 - 10 yrs old) and the farmers wife of our little farm.
Sadly we don't have a real farm, just a 3 bed mid terrace house with a long garden in Essex.

We keep chickens for eggs and also have ducks for eggs if they ever want to lay any!
We also have now a trio of turkeys that will be our breeding stock for meat.
I breed rabbits as pets and am thinking of breeding for meat as we can't have a cockerel for our chickens

Going to need a bit of help with the rabbit meat bit! Hint hint lol

We have an allotment (half plot) which we got this year and have some Land share land as well. We grow mostly there and the front garden as back is for the animals.

Welcome to ISH :flower:

There are a couple of threads about rabbit meat,

http://www.selfsufficientish.com/forum/ ... it=+rabbit

http://www.selfsufficientish.com/forum/ ... it+rabbits

There are probably more, but I thought these might give you some pointers. You are more than welcome to start your own thread, then you can ask the specific questions you want answered. We are a friendly lot & only too pleased to share our thought with you. :icon_smile:
