Creme D'Argent Breeders

[Yellow House Farm]

Greetings! We have a small (12 breeders) Creme D'Argent herd we've been working for 2 years. We're pretty good about reading up and have had a fair modicum of success thus far.

On Thanksgiving we had a doe birth 7 kits all of which lived.

At 5weeks/2 days, they all weigh between 1.5 and 2lbs.

For others raising Cremes, how does that seem to average? On taget? Small? Large?

Nope, join the Creme D'Argent Federation and you'll locate stock. It's only $10.00 cremedargent.org

Thank you Heartland! We're a quickly growing group of friends in southern NH and ME working with Cremes and some champagnes. First and foremost our efforts are aimed a food production, while also wanting to maintain breed standards, etc... So much of what is written is so focused on NZWs or Californians that it's not easy to guage what our growing goals should be.

Another quick question, can one ship rabbits the way one can ship poultry in the mail?

Well rabbits need to be shipped in airline approved carriers. It's pretty pricey to ship rabbits - Around $200.00 or so, depending on the carrier I think. The rabbits also need health certificates and a few other things, don't know all the details

Thank you! A few of us were considering going in on a buck to bring in to our project. It would be great to find a buck from a rabbitry for whom meat qualities are held in high importance.

Yellow House Farm, I would be interested in hearing from other Creme breeders.

Hi Heartlandrabbitry! (I got my Cremes from her) Everyone is great.

How many kits have you been getting in your litters? I think that was the OPs original question.
