Snow Critters
Rabbits hanging around in and on their favorite hidey-hole. They don't mind the cold at all. They'll lie out there on the ground in sub-freezing weather like it's the most comfortable thing in the world.
The chickens, on the other hand, are distrustful of the snow, mostly because it's different. They stand and stare at it for a long time before setting foot in it. Once out, they'll walk kind of funny, trying to keep their feet out of the snow. But Speckled Sussex are insatiably curious and love to scratch and be outside, so eventually they just get out in it and do their chickeny things.

I found your blog looking for info on colony raising rabbits. I was wondering if you would be willing to answer a few questions for me. Like, don't rabbits get out of the fencing if you let the burrow? If your willing to offer some advice and answer a few questions I would greatly appreciate it. You can contact me ladykelien@gmail.com
I had a flock of half-wild chickens once that stayed in a pine tree for over a week because they wouldn't fly down in the snow
I have also stumbled across your blog and have enjoyed it. My husband wanted me to research pictures for building new roosts for our 31 chickens and an image from your blog popped up. Anyway, I was really surprised to see how successfully you have kept rabbits in a colony. I LOVE the idea of it but have not successfully found much information about keeping rabbits in a colony. If you have time. Email (lauren.klouda@gmail.com) or post information about where you found helpful information for colony raising. I will also be joining Homesteading Today ... a wonderful discovery from your blog links. Thanks!
I'd love to see more on your colony rabbit keeping...I've been researching for our own rabbits...not much else to see. We're so excited to see your adventures in action - keep it up!
How are they all now?
Hi Leslie,
Looks lovely! A wonderful way to raise rabbits... no stress for them or you. So encouraging. Lots of discouragement for colony raising out there... so this is great!
Your name of your blog "Palazzo Rospo" interests me... what does it mean?
