Sell!!! DO not cull them just because they are bucks!!!!
Very true Ottersatin, though in my case, these guys will probably end up as meat.
Rex don't sell at all. No one wants Rex here, no one sells Rex here, unless you are selling to another Rex breeder. These guys have been advertised several places since the day they were born. There is really no market for rabbits in the hood, or really anywhere around here unless you've got NZ/Cal for 4H meat pens or cute dwarf breeds for little kids.
Here excess bunnies go to the dogs, the original purpose for raising rabbits.

I've been told that should is one of those things that will never get better. What you have at 10 weeks is what you've got.<br /><br />__________ Sun May 13, 2012 4:06 pm __________<br /><br />

I agree. Many rabbits are late-developers, and you could wind up culling out some very nice rabbits in the process.
Some things not in there favor--
1. They are bucks, my buck to doe ratio is not very good right now.
2. I have three litter in boxes, so there are replacements.
3. I have the original sire
4. They are brokens, and I am tired of brokens.
5. They have a bit longer shoulder.
Things in their favor
1. They are sweet tempered
2. They are colors I want to maintain in the herd
3. They have high arches and good depth
