    Doe is mounting my buck ?

    If he's going as a pet then it's not such a big deal. BUT If he is going into a breeding program he needs to have the confidence to do his job. A sister always whooping him can leave a mental mark. Personally, I don't let my dogs get away with it, so I don't tolerate it in the rabbitry...

    wire floor for French Lops?

    Tony, I have NZWs on 1x1/2 wire. My breeding cages are 2'x2'x4' with 3 supports. Bucks are in a 2'x2'x3' The bucks are suspended from the roof. My critters' weight range are 9lb-12lb. If any wood is with in range of teeth then it will most likely be chewed. Some rabbits are more...

    Typical Rabbit Math

    Ok. I have a huge question.... NZW + NZW/Cal = Grey kits :?: I have Cream of Tartar and she is New Zealand White. Then I have Cumin and he is New Zealand White x Californian. Now they have had 3 litters so far and all kits have been either REW or Cal coloring. This time around all seemed...

    How close should the kindles be?

    Given a perfect world :x breeding all does, in a small herd 3 or so, would seem ideal. That way fostering can be done. I, personally, only have 3 does but none are ever ready at the same time. At this point everyone is about 2wks off from each other. :oops: I could see there being an...

    How many kits in one cage

    Do to limited space and a surprise litter of 11 :x I had 11 nzw/cals in a 2x3. Weaned at 6 weeks. Not by my choice, but by their mother :P butchered out at 8-10 wks. I just kept an eye on them. They all had enough room to stretch out and once they got over 4.5lbs I butchered. Only 2-3 made...

    Butchering Station

    We are going to allow it to drain into the field. The garden is too far and would then have to bury the pipe. We are going to rig the garden hose to fit the faucet. But those parts are going to have to wait till I have money to buy them or find them. Either way work really. :P :lol: :lol: We...

    Butchering Station

    The kicker is that the pluming is the only cost we'll have. Everything was free-cycled. :P :lol: :lol: It was really easy to clean and sanitize. Best part is that the rabbits don't have to smell the blood from the one prior to it. I was able to broom stick them a few feet away and move to a...

    Butchering Station

    What to do with dead kits?

    Our dogs love the heads on butcher day. :twisted:

    What to do with dead kits?

    I've lost a few to being born on the wire. After trying, unsuccessfully, to revive them I give them to our cat. At one point, this past winter I had a whole litter freeze, 9 in total. Stupid doe never recovered them after feeding them. :evil: Anyways Thomas, our killer, got all the kits. Just...

    Chickens and Ducks

    I saw on a website that duck lay up to 3 hours after sun rise and chickens is up to 5 hours after sun rise :?: :? But the chickens we watch lay all day. I know I don't want to do an easter egg hunt. One of the black chickens lays on the eggs all day and night. She is actually missing most of...
