Hey all! :frow So, I’m waiting impatiently for my eggs to go into lockdown next week, so I thought I’d share something about them and me :cool: I have a serious addiction to farming in general and hatching especially. Other than the few years I lived in the city I’ve been farming my entire life...

It's not as easy as you might think to sex a rabbit. Even experienced breeders can and do make mistakes in determining male from female. I've been checking rabbit bottoms for genders for about 20 years and am very rarely wrong. I normally don't bother checking until 2-3 weeks old, some can and...
