    whats better runs or hutches for Flemish does to kindle and raise the kits?

    With the birds they always have coccidia it is only a problem when it gets too high in chicks. from what I have heard using cordid only knocks the amount of coccidia down in the chicks so it dont kill them before they can handle it The peahen will encourage her chicks to eat her poop as soon as...

    whats better runs or hutches for Flemish does to kindle and raise the kits?

    Both views are probably correct in my (un-edge-ja-ma-cay-tid) opinion Rabbits are probably not affected by the type of coccidia that kills birds. But repeated high exposure could overwhelm the young kits The kits could also have gotten sick and that allowed it to overwhelm the immune system...

    whats better runs or hutches for Flemish does to kindle and raise the kits?

    I didn't even think about that. They wouldn't be in there at the same time so the poop would be gone but didn't think about how long coccidia would live in the top layers of soil. Our rabbits are still only 9 weeks old so have time to get everything figured out before we even think about...

    Raising Flemish for size is it better to wait to do first breeding

    That was our original plan. Just put them in the colony and let nature take over. But I am planning on getting another male from larger genetics and controlling there breeding now

    Raising Flemish for size is it better to wait to do first breeding

    I have wanted a 20lb+ rabbit for over 30 years but never actively perused it Just picked up 2 girls that may have the genetics to hit 20lb but haven't found anything about breeding for largest size if it is better to breed them early at 6 months or wait until they are over a year old (my...
