I added roofing to both sides of the original hutch and hung four new cages from it. Two of the cages are mine and two are friends of mine. (I am bunnysitting his rabbits while he's on vacation.) Eventually I will have 2 of my own cages there for a total of 8 cages. Bunny burgers forever! The six bunnies pictured here are almost ready for harvesting. I will process them at around 11 weeks old, just after the 4th of July.
The silver Sebright bantam are roosters. I will be selling them ASAP.
The rabbits are growing nicely. Funny Bunny seems to be a great momma. I try to go out and play with the little bunnies at least once a day so they won't be as skittish around people as the adult rabbits are. I know, I know; I'm playing with my food. But I am not so insensitive as to look at them as meat in the freezer. They will be looked after, played with, yes maybe even named, for their short ten or eleven weeks of life. Then they will be canned and eventually sauteed with some butter, salt and pepper. Well all except one...Bucks new wife. Gotta keep the bacon, uh, err, bunny on the table.
