Got my meat rabbit breeding stock.

The buck, a California/New Zealand mix.



And the does, a red New Zealand and a white New Zealand. Both proven to be good mothers.

Hello from Whatcom County! We're in the process of buying a home with a chicken coop and I stumbled on this site to see the logistics of raising chickens. Really excited at the prospect and all the help I've found here.

Hello! I'm a county "neighbor"; I'm in Skagit. Welcome!!

Hello everyone! I'm out on the Kitsap Peninsula and we've just started raising some chicks. I will have to wait until Aug/Sept to finish the flock as I want to add a polish hen when I find her. I am excited to see the chicks grow their feathers - they are so cute right now. I have one Silver Laced and 1 Gold Laced Wyandottes, 1 Buff Brahma, 1 Buff Orpington, and 2 Ameraucanas (blue and brown).

When I raised rabbits for meat I had the New Zealand Whites because they are very prolific and the does do a good job raising more bunnies at once than would seem possible for a rabbit. The white fur and red eyes made them look more like meat than pets too. So many people are creeped out by the white eyes that they are a cheap rabbit so butchering them instead of selling them was the way to go.
