    Question about Charlies

    A Broken and a Charlie cannont produce a solid because there is not a second en gene for it to have. A broken to a broken can produce solids charlies and brokens.

    Record Keeping

    I have an iphone. But it is called breedSmart. I found it by looking for animal breeder apps.

    Check Me Out!

    In this past year, my herd has almost tripled in size! I added Satins as well as more New Zealands. I have already have several hundred dollars worth of sales this year. Lately I haven't been able to process any rabbits because I am selling all of them. But it is a good problem to have. I...

    Question about Charlies

    Half of my breeding stock is broken. I have always been hesitant to breed broken to broken because I don't know much about charlies. I do know that if bred with a broken they will produce either broken or charlies. I need some clarification. Do charlies have megacolon issues? Do you keep...

    Record Keeping

    I found this app called Breed Smart. It is free and you can do any species of animal and print out pedigrees as well!

    Where to start? Breeds

    I let people come look at my rabbitry before they buy from me. I just did this and I sold rabbit meat as well! Any good rabbitry would be more than willing to answer your questions!

    Babies!!!

    Oh Congrats! I like to process at 12-13 weeks. I also like to keep my growouts in a tractor so they are grass fed and it saves me a ton of money. I have only used the hopper popper to dispatch. I have no problems with it but you need to make sure it is lower than your waist

    Housing situation for breeding rabbits

    You will definitely want to have a separate cage for the other doe and 1 or 2 grow out cages. Does actually like to have all their space to themselves. The bigger the cage the better. I have New Zealands and Satins. I keep them in 30x30 cages. I don't know anything about rex so I can't help with...

    Where to start? Breeds

    To explain it a little better. I sold a doe to a lady. Then she came back wanting a buck that could breed with her doe. So I sold her a buck from a different litter. The does dad is the bucks grandpa. If I started with an unrelated trio then you could keep the babies from both litters and breed...

    Where to start? Breeds

    I have New Zealands and Satins 1. For fur and meat satin, champanges and rex are good. 2. Some of my rabbits are a little mixed. It is just your preference. One of my best does was a mixed rabbit. 3. But if you want to show I would recommend purebred with pedigree. If you have good lines and...

    Is this a chestnut

    Can someone post a pic of a fawn rabbit as well as a pic of the hair shaft? I would like to compare it to mine. I would very much appreciate it!

    Is this a chestnut

    My chestnut kits are less dark than your pics of your kits, just like when the fur grows in you can see the color much better, you can see the ticking. It never comes in it is just there but hard to see. I don't have any pics of any chestnut kits. But I have a broken chestnut doe that is bred to...

    Is this a chestnut

    Just for reference, this is a picture of a chestnut. They will look like this from the nestbox.

    Introducing my rabbits

    I would recommend doing the cages one at a time. When you put them together, they can try to fight or mate each other. I would rather not take the risk.

    I'm So Excited!!:)

    I also completely forgot to mention that I got to write for Judge Steve Roush

    I'm So Excited!!:)

    Update guys!! I actually showed two bucks. They both won BOV twice and BOB once each. I have to say, it was all by default as I was the ONLY youth showing satins. The judge for BIS gave my copper buck Jake (pic in post) a second glance. He got DQ'd for being a pound under in the first show but...

    Asking for feedback on free range successes and failures.

    I have put litters of rabbits in an open bottom tractor. I have only had them dig out when it was really uneven ground. They are now inside a pasture with an electric fence surrounding the pasture. No predator problems or toxic plants.

    I'm So Excited!!:)

    So tomorrow I am going to my first rabbit show. And of course, I am jumping into it head first and showing a rabbit while I am there! I will also be picking up a few Satin rabbits! As some of you know, I could not find any anywhere. But I found 2 wonderful ladies in Virginia that are helping me...

    Would it work on a chrome book? I don't think I have another computer.
