They are filled by a large, 5 gallon or bigger, container. Feed by running down to each cage...
$275 in the green. 75 in bun sales. But minus 40 in new water cups.
Currently $310 in the green.
Feed truck still hasn't shown up. Ugh. Down to the last 100#. Sheep have eaten all of the available greens.
Gigi & Gold leaving.

For fks sake! Why is ordering feed so difficult?? Ugh. Called 5 times over 3 days. Friday truck. Not arrived yet. We'll call you. No answer. Morning call and 32 "in stock."
Get there, 2. Two in stock...
Maybe next truck will have it.
$310 in the green. 2 bags of feed. It was on sale. 33$
Currently $277 in the green.
Got 3 more bowls installed.

Color of these two are so similar, gotta recheck to see who is who, because one is heavier, about half a pound, and one has to go.
Opal? doe. 4.87
Yynx×Baymax 16wks
Seems to have better loin, but much lighter weight. Or are they the same? And the blue doe, same weight as the heavier one, but a week older. Also the same? Do I cull the Vickie line out as well as one of the Yynx does? Or! Do I get rid of all 3 and only keep Quincy??
this is so hard!!

Yup.
I like the colour of the bottom rabbit. Was that Gold?
Yeah. Black tort SF.
Beautiful!
Started clearing out the corner of the carport addition to move the rabbits there. Hopefully, permanently!
Sugar kits kicked out of their nest.
Ebony got a nest.
Jessi gets a nest tomorrow.
Gonna be annoying to move them all now...ugh.
I think I need to order a bit of tubing before moving them. Not sure I'll be able to reuse the current tubing to reach the new setup.
Edit.
I see I've ordered two 50ft rolls of tubing. How could I of used it all?? I'll search the barn before ordering again.

Or was she a steeled blue otter??
So gross. So many are leaking until pans are overflowing! Such a disgusting mess.
Completely full to the edge and over!
New cup leaking...
Moved some over, but not without bloodshed, cursing and getting covered in crap.
Got them on the little blue bin for water.
Ebony seems big, she better kit or she's getting culled. I need to get rid of more adults! 23 is way too many!
Jessi working in her nest in shifts, too hot to get it done in one go!
Baymax eating his cup.....
Sugar kits gendered. Hopefully a better doe is among them than the 2 older ones!

I take it, the plastic cups aren't working out? They looked neat, sorry they didn't work.
One of the new ones installed so far is leaking. Rest are okay. 2 of the old metal ones are leaking a lot. Both are a pain to take apart and clean, new is worse, though.
Been trying to clean the algae out of the tubing, but golly it's slow going...

Those orange cups look like what I ordered to start out because ads said they could be used for both rabbits and quail. Tried screwing onto buckets for colony and covey. Never did get them to stop leaking. Then went to wide mouth gallons with holes drilled near top, flipped upside down into baking pans. Those worked well and were easy to fill and switch out. I now use those metal double wall bird waterers for everyone. One in each family group or grow out pen. Easy to clean and fill. My 3 gallon size last 1-3 days depending on how many rabbits currently in residence. Funny I had been given some large plastic ones. Thought I'd never use something that big so gave away. Then later went and bought 4
I know it may be an expense but I have had luck keeping algae down by using colored water lines. Mine are blue, and the reservoir is a series of 55gallon blue drums. I was lucky to get the box of blue tubing for free from someone...Maybe there is a way you can block light to the system without having to replace everything? Tape on the lines, and paint the reservoir if needed?
They're not leaking from the screw thing, they're wrapped in plumbers tape and a clamp on. The inner rubber stopper doesn't seem to be sealing.
Are you talking about chicken waterers or?
I've been thinking of changing to bowls, but I'd need to eliminate all shake n wobble of floors. They spill a lot that way and need to be at the rear of cages, as they stand in them, flicking water out.
