4 week old rabbits

The Californian and the New Zealand are recognized by most breeders, processors, fanciers, and judges as the two best meat breeds. They both have a feed-meat conversion ratio of about 4/1, and dress out very well. Mix them together, and you get a superior meat rabbit.

...and even though they aren't as big as say a giant Flemish or American Chinchilla, they get up to weight faster for fryer is my understanding. I would like to work out a mix of my own with a giant thrown in there somewhere but for fast growth you chose best.

Yep. Also, giants eat a TON and need hutches bigger than most comercially available, and are big boned and just in general hard to keep.

All I know is with the ones I got from this litter they all weigh 4 pounds right now planning on butchering when they hit 5 or 6 pounds. Which with the way they are growing I think will be by the end of the month or within the first 2 weeks of next month.

Your going to be getting some great meat.
