Yes, I do have rabbits. The good news is that we welcomed two healthy litters about eight weeks ago, giving me a total of 15 rabbits.
The good/bad news is I sold all the babies in a week. Didn’t even have to process any. I only got about one cubic yard of good manure/hay for compost and that went in the strawberry beds.
We just had two litters birth this week. Silver Fox. Rabbits are such a good income source. Can’t be upset about the sales at all.
I've got 3 Silver Fox (2 doe, 1 buck), A Mutt Doe from Polyface Farms, and a cross Buck between the Polyface Doe and a Silver Fox Buck. That's my breeding supply.
Spent the day yesterday cleaning out the "bunny barn" and applying the manure to beds.
I'm almost valuing the manure more then the meat! Sold a few last year as pets. Which helped with feed costs. Thinking of selling manure as well, by the bucket load.
By Polyface, you mean Salatin’s farm?
Agree. Hard to pick what’s more valuable, agree. Kit sales, fur, meat, manure. They’re a must have for small farms.
