Go on, dear. Dig yourself in deeper.

I think I've hit rock bottom at this point.

Nah, there's almost always further to fall or melt, or whatever you people do in the arctic.

Hunting rabbits! Were those wild ones any good to eat? They're awful dinky around here.

Wild cottontails are delicious as are snowshoe hares.

I dunno. I mean, I hang out with you...

So much love in that statement.

How large are your wild rabbits? Ours are smaller than my Holland Lop buck, and he's tiny.

Cottontails are small, I never weighed any of them, just shot, cleaned, cooked and ate them. They are a fraction of the size of the New Zealand Whites that I raised. They might be a third of the size of the jackrabbits and 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the snowshoe hares.

That’s awesome! Do you want to be lie a geneticist then? Do they have a veterinary field that specializes in that?? I think you’d be great at it.

And that’s so interesting a splash rooster could throw only blues. What breed were they?

I think it’s like veterinary scientists or something similar to that. I want to be an equine veterinarian and specialize in the reproductive aspect of the field. That allows me to be hands on and also incorporate some genetics into it too. I couldn’t be a real geneticist. Being inside for a long time drives me batty.

Our Australorp rooster is the splash. The blue hens are half Australorp and half Brahma or half Langshan so they are only in our mix flock.

That sounds awesome!! I didn’t realize geneticists were inside, or maybe I did know that and just forgot lol duh!, silly me, that does sound pretty boring haha equine veterinarian sounds fun though!! I love horses. Wish I could have one

And ahh I see. Did you know the girls were mixes? I wish I could have a rooster and hatch some of my own eggs but I can’t atm

Suppose it all tastes like rabbit, which is delicious.
