How many Rabbits in Your Barn??

I have been asked this many times, and always the answer is the same ...... "well, I am not quite sure" .... as the number can change so rapidly. However I do have an answer today! Saturday night I counted all of them ..... ALL!

Breeding does ..............................................59
Jr does .........................................................26
Bucks ...........................................................10
Jr Bucks .........................................................5
Fryers, various ages,
out of the nest box .............................288
Babies,
still in the nest box ..............................127
______________________________
if I did my math right............................. 515

We put in 9 nest boxes last night and have about 80 fryers to go today.

A Video of what's going on in our Barn

I love watching the does when they begin making their nests, the scratching around they do and chewing up the wood chips before pulling hair. I was fortunate to catch this doe doing just that ....



Turn up the volume so you can hear her toward the end of video. I am so excited as I just learned to use this feature on my camera and just had to post!
