Well, I guess I'm not bringing rabbits after all. I got 2 of them included with a hutch. Too small, wrong breed, too poorly handled by young out-of-control children.
Well, either the people didn't know how old they were or they were starving them, because they have been growing like gangbusters. They are now normal size rabbits. My son has been going out to the hutch several times a day to handle them and they have turned into nice bunnies.
For weeks he's been saying, "They are really turning out well." and "They have certainly tamed down nicely." I'm slow, but finally the penny dropped and I realized he was saying "Let's not sell them."
My son is an adult, not a child, but he's done a lot of work on the rabbits, so if he wants to keep them, I will keep them.
Yikes. Now I have 4 definite does and one mystery gender. The rabbit project is already out of control. My math says I need 2 does for my family.
So. Rabbit Math works like Chicken Math?
His friend at work just bought a house in Portland that has a chicken coop. The friend asked him just how much work chickens are etc...my husband told him to burn the coop now and cut his losses
