The progress has been amazing so far; The rabbitry is getting slimmed down (all extra rabbits sold) to make the transition from free standing hutches to hanging cages easier, and a little less costly, at least until it's stabilized and I'm ready to expand again. Several rabbits have sold, and there is high demand for the hutches, which are selling almost faster than I can clear rabbits out of them.
I'm continuing to search for a carport or greenhouse frame to hang my rabbit cages from, which will then have wood and/or heavy wire fencing built around it to protect them from weather and predators.
In the meantime, I'll be building my own rabbit cages, and creating a stunningly redneck table system to keep them on until I have a suitable frame in place to hang the cages. So far, my plan is to use pallets as the legs of the "table", and boxsprings as the "top" of the table. Supported correctly, and bound securely, these quirky tables will support the full weight of the cages and rabbits, while allowing the urine and manure to fall through to the ground, where the chickens and ducks can sort through it for dropped food, bugs, worms, etc.
The main setback is the discovery of sinkholes in our micro farm/livestock yard. That was a horrifying find indeed. The first sunken area appeared to be fairly small, about dinner plate size, until I took a shovel and cleared away the surface dirt to see just how big it was. It is a continually eroding area, currently about 2'x3' at the surface, with a depth of approximately 3', with standing water at the bottom - deep enough to "eat" our kids, and certainly our poultry. It has a large tupperware container upside down over it, weighted down with large rocks to keep it from blowing away and anything from falling in. So far, the research I've done has not been terribly helpful - it appears our only option is to fill in the hole that we've exposed, likely with wood chips since I hate the idea of filling it in with gravel (I want to have usable ground, not a big pocket of rocks that is useless). There are several other areas we suspect are developing sinkholes, most about the same size as the one we uncovered already, however there are a couple that are much bigger, and much closer to the house. At some point soon, we will have to uncover those as well to see just what exactly we're dealing with. At the very least, this situation eliminates the possibility of even miniature goats, and has pushed back adding turkeys to our farm until at least summer 2015, if not longer.
