Thanks @larkins5. I was hoping to Syphon half this way and then move the barrel as it was so heavy. But the fermentation was so strong it kept creating an airlock. Thanks for the tips 😁

@@deervalleyhomestead that makes sense. It happens sometimes. Thanks again for the video! Great content!

@@larkins5 thank you

Thanks Blair , I'm going to check the footage and work on it 😁

I will happily tell you everything I got wrong 🤣. I love my set up but having run it for a year I also see all the mistakes. I was in sxm for for a hurricane, and I fully understand why you prepare properly. I saw the looting , lawlessness, and bad side of life and how quickly it can get there.

@@deervalleyhomestead those were actually isolated incidents, the media loves isolated incidents for ratings lol, I never experienced any craziness where I live, but I'm always ready to deal with any problem that arises. I first have to build a young chicken tractor to keep chickens once out of the brooder, I've been keeping chickens in my compost bins. The rabbit hutches will be on top of compost bins to collect poop 💩 for fertilizer.

Which part was the most obvious?

Slovakia

Your handle matches your comment. I quite agree with you, lots of things I would change. Hopefully in the top 50%

@@deervalleyhomestead well for me the first problem is the law, in my country we are not allowed to breed rabbits in such small cages. They set a certain amount of space u need for each rabbit. And since European rabbits love to live in colonies, it needs to be big. Funny thing if u keep rabbit as pet u can keep it in a hamster cage if u would want to. Laws only seem to apply when u wanna save money on food. But that doesn’t change the fact its a nice build. Just not the best, since it’s not functional everywhere.

@@harshtruth632 where are you from ? I'm debating trying a colony setup just out of curiosity. It's 1.2*0.8m per cage, they do all get time on grass as well.

@@deervalleyhomestead Belgium, i think u would need the size of 2 cage per female. And size of 3 cages for each buck here. Most people i know who raise them here, do it in old sheds (made of bricks) and they build a huge cage on the outside of it. Unfortunately I don’t live in one of those old houses that had those.

It was a little tippy but it worked. Sometimes you just have to find a way

They are 1.2m x 0.8m. that's about 4ft x 3ft in freedom units. It's much bigger than the standard size here in Slovakia. What's the standard size where you are ?

@@deervalleyhomestead all i hear is bunnies dosnt belong in a cage, our bunny run free in our House like a dog

these bunnies are given time on the grass , normally twice a week. But they are also not pets, while lots are sold in to the pet market locally, around half end up in the freezer.

Slovakia , sorry I must have forgotten to tag it on this video

@@deervalleyhomestead Nice, I was thinking South Africa Australia,could not work it out. Thank you.

It's the grass clippings that really fill it up

They seem to get heavier every year 😂. I love a good history channel.

I love the wire , they keep it so clean. I just used the wrong stuff, I fell for the picture of a rabbit on the packaging 😞. I will keep an eye out for the metal sheeting video

It's all very possible. I can update you on one part though. We have moved him from bottom left to top right. His new cage is now the cleanest , stiga moved in to his old spot and is making it a mess, there must be something, a smell, scent or other reason why they treat that cage differently. I still haven't figured it out though 🤔

We have a shallow well, and town water. Most of the walnuts go in cakes, the rest are used by the squirrels 🤣 The feed is very varied, I should make a video on that topic. They all have something different but it's a combination of grain , pellets, minerals and vitamins. Plus what ever they can find.

The hay was cut very late this year, I think they built confidence stalking here as they could hide so well. Now it's been cut we haven't had any issues. I'm also in the process of beefing up the pens though

​@deervalleyhomestead Ah, Neat. Grand solutions B forthcoming. Happy your neighbours steeped up & cut sorounding grass. Interesting something as 'relatively simple' as apposed to vast amounts money, B of such factor to helping. Also, thank you for replying. Shall B following with Intetest. 🐔

Once it gets below 10c they tend to hide inside. But then so do the chickens

Thank you, Beata has spent a few evenings restoring it. A new one here is 5/600 euros. These old ones come up often for 50/100euros.

Where please do you get Water Supply? "Your on the ground... now your flying" made me laugh out loud. Great, na music while you B talking & volume way down lower so can hear machines etc working. Trust you both had refreshing break & all B well apon return. 🐇

Thank you for your thoughts. I would love to cut the grass but I have so many neighbours on that side of the property it is just too complicated. Normally the farmer would have cut for hay around a month ago. 12ft fence should do the trick, I have an 8ft and have had no deer in the garden since.

I will try that with the tomatoes! As for the pheasants I still have no idea 🤔. I'm pretty crazy about keeping them clean etc , I've thrown out the bag of food just incase

😂😂😂😂

It's got a few holes but not bad for 18 years 🤣

I have quail, but I keep struggling to find a good recipe 🥺

I don't seem to have this problem, mine seem to prefer the middle areas when I'm not around. But head to the back when I am. If they started to pace like zoo animals, then I would probably change to something else

French lops

@@deervalleyhomestead oh okay!! They are really adorable..

I empty it by hand around once a month, especially in summer. They have other water that is changed daily.

Thanks for the tips, I have learned a few of them the hard way. I'm sure I have a few more to learn. I like the for branch idea 💡

Thank you, I would like to avoid it as it can get very windy here. But I think you're right they will need the extra cover

I'm planning to use this one as the brooder side. But when it's empty I am thinking to let some of the rabbits run around

French lops

So far I've lost two zucchini. The chickens don't have access. Worst case scenario - guinea soup

Due any day now 😁

They are just so much fun to have around , lucky I have good neighbors. I have subbed and will check it out thank you

Having supportive neighbors is a must with these precious creatures!

I am lucky , our predictor pressure is pretty low here. No mongoose to be seen , we do have pine martins but they only come out at night

Thank you , it's now finished. Hopefully they like it 😁

🤣 that's a scary thought

Thank you
