Dinner rabbits, Journal

[secuono]

March 14-

14 had her kits, pulled two out & froze. She really hates large litters. Another screamer in there, wonder if that's why she's acting crazy. Nothing physically wrong with the kit, just screams bloody murder if anything moves.


Onyx kits



Blu's kits
A lilac??




Today-

Blu squashed a broken kit. Redid the nest to move kits over & put out hay in cage for mom to lay on instead of the nest.

Got posed pics of everyone, except Onyx.

Removed Speckle nest.

$415 in the red.
Add $31 in water parts. Add $25 in bins for water.
$471 in the red.

Minus 50 in 2 bun sales. Makes it 421.

Since the chickens don't have a red list, as they're DH's problem, they're sales will be for the buns.
2 rooster sale at 20. And door sale at 50. 70 to put to buns.
421-70=$351 in the red.



There are people always "interested", but are so wishy washy. They get so mad when they contact after cull day. As if they didn't have warning of when it would happen and that they didn't vanish or change things around and not contact in time. 🙄

I hate it when I list rabbits for sale and ppl are 'interested', set up a pick up date and time and everything, only to not show up.

If I were talking to these "buyers" I'd advise butcher date and tell them it would happen, so be advised. 🤷

The ads state "this weekend, in two weeks...for 5# rabbits" culling. Then mention which day when they contact me.
Had a ton to do today & high winds came through, so I moved it to tomorrow, hopefully. Hay coming Sunday.

Ahhh I wish I could come be an apprentice under you! I’m trying to get my meat rabbits going but can never seem to get off the ground. I’m pretty small scale with only 7 does and a buck. How many rabbits do you estimate you have?

12 does, about to keep 1-3 more. 4 bucks, might swap one keeper growout buck for another, or keep another to watch. So, 17 to 21. Way, way too many! I believe I didn't want 11, so this is so...ugh...😆
