Exploring the pasture
I am trying to decide if I want to have a colony set up or go with pens. I do not plan to have more than 3 does at a time.

Welcome to BYH.... I don't have rabbits so cannot help you in any way. Hope that some of the rabbit people on here can chime in.
Do you have any other livestock besides the rabbits you want to get? I love the coat on the Rex rabbits, but would be a wimp about killing any...

Exploring the pasture
Eventually we want a couple goats and maybe a hog. We only have .57 acre. We are going to use it to the best of our ability to feed ourselves a d allow for another source of income. We also have chickens. 8 pullets that are I months. A cockerel that's the same age. Then we have 10 sex links that are 1 month old pullets and 5 barnyard mixes we hatched out about 21 days ago. And now have 27 eggs in the incubators that are to be sold.

I had a colony in the past but wasn’t happy with the results and several got cocci.
I keep mine in a big 4x8 hutch divided into 4 spaces now, and its been much easier to manage for me
