My FIL is a bit of a hoarder when it comes to wood, tools and car parts. When we were working on my chicken coop he kept showing up with more plywood and 2x4s. He probably has almost everything we need.

We'll have three storage sheds that will be converted for animals. Only on needs some heavy repair thanks to a leak my FIL has allowed to continue for years and a stubborn groundhog that tore up the wooden floor. The other two were built for my MIL so he took more time building them and gave...

It's a storage shed. My MIL uses it to store off season clothes and old furniture she doesn't want to give up.

Hutches in the shed.

We're going to be converting storage sheds on my in-laws' property. We're buying their house this spring. There's a great pole barn I would love to convert instead, but my FIL is holding it hostage for who knows how long. :/ Barring that, I have a hutch that's just waiting on a few final...

I'm looking forward to it now and I don't have anywhere to put them yet. XD

So probably blue, black and a broken that catches my eye.

I want to raise both. I planned to keep a few with desirable pelts for winter harvest. The rest would be fryers. I see the red and broken NZs advertised most often. A man up north breeds white and a lady down south breeds black and broken black. I saw a lady the other day selling blue NZs. That...

I don't have any interest in shows, but I'm sure I could find a use for their fur. A chocolate buck popped up on a sale page, but he was posted by the seller I had issues with. I like the look of the chocolate Dutch so I'll probably try to find one later. As for the NZ, I pretty much like any...

I'll go about getting a dutch buck to breed to my girl, but I'll get a trio of NZs for my main meat herd.

I seem to still be having back luck with rabbits. For the first time in my life I lost one of my rabbits to a cat. I was hoping she'd be okay after she was attacked on Friday, but I found her dead this morning. They were in a cage I've used for rabbits for years without issue. Her sister is...

The size is where I was worried about their worth as meat rabbits. I figured you could eat a Lionhead or a Holland Lop if you were determined to do so. I'm only feeding two people and not selling so commercial quality isn't as important as space and time. Their dad didn't appear to be a bony...

Thanks! I was going to wait until spring, but these two popped up on a BST page and I couldn't pass them up. I picked them up at the breeder's house this time too.

I just bought a pair of 8 week old mixed does for pets. Their mom is a Lionhead/Dutch mix and the dad is a Harlequin. The lady I bought them from was going to process the litter for her own family if they didn't sell. That left me wondering if I could breed them (when they're old enough) to a...

It seems to happen that way a lot. If I suddenly lose two animals in the same group I start bracing for the domino effect. I try to figure out what's wrong and medicate or fix things if I can, but it usually doesn't help.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind if I get a fiber rabbit in the future. I'll probably just stick to meat rabbits next spring.

Yes

I've had it with rodents, but never with anything else. None of my rabbits before this ever even got sick so it was a bit of a shock.
