Raising our New Zealand Meat Rabbits *Start to finish - Birth to processing* Possible Graphic pics*

[SA Farm]

I'll be processing some next month. I've never done it by myself. Wish me luck!

Good luck! One of these days I'm going to have to learn how to do it. I can usually get my hubby to do them, but he really doesn't like doing it, and while I don't think I will either, I'd at least like to know how...

Hoping to go to mountain top Sunday. If we do, I'll be taking my NZWs, and possibly some Flemish to sell.

Had a doe kindle 7 kits yesterday

Another doe will not be shown up and has started a big old nest!

New building arrived today for the bunnies! We are adding a PVC/35 gallon reservoir auto water to each side, will be adding 2 more of the super fans we bought and wrapping it in hardware cloth on two sides and adding 2 walls. Base is 12inces of riversilt on top of a clay pack. 40 breeders in 36in cages will fit in this 18x22 space. so excited!

Awesome! 40, huh? Makes me feel so small-time with my 9 NZ breeders! lol

Barn fan is installed and oscillates to hit all rabbits keeping them cool on our 104 degree days and floor is 3 yards of river silt, heavy very good drainage and stays put. Stays cool in shade also. Easy to rake up waste.
Sheeting was installed under top row of cages to send waste away and down from bottom cages.

35 gallon reservoir and PVC plumbing hooked up to 20 cages being watered from it this saves me hours per week filling water bottles and 5 gallon buckets! I love it.

The bunnies are so happy they've been popping out litters!
