I raise meat rabbits, and I also provide chicks for spring photo shoots for my 2 bff's who are pro photographers. This year, since I now live on a large farm with plenty of room for whatever I want, they requested duckies and bunnies. Duckies are easy, I got 3 Anconas easily at a flock swap at TSC on the weekend and can easily go back for more if these get too big. I wanted to try ducks this year anyway. But one of my friends didn't want to use my meat rabbits (CA and NZ) b/c she thought their red eyes were creepy. (She's weird like that, but I love her anyway. ) So at the same swap, there was someone selling the cutest little bunnies with the prettiest dark lashed eyes I have ever seen! I was going to buy them regardless, but the guy told me they were English Spots and are great meat bunnies. They are too cute to eat, though, so I may end up reselling them or just breeding them once a year for my friends to use the babies in their spring pics, then sell the babies and don't ask questions from those who buy. The guy told me they were both girls, but my kids were holding one last night, and I double checked the one his wife had said she'd checked but we didn't recheck, and it is in fact a boy. I really hope the other is a girl! They are super cute! And here's my favorite pic from last year's photo shoot!
