Looks great! Nice job! You will find the wood can be a pain but it will work for a long time for you.
You will need to concider making the cages larger. The way you have it set up a NZ doe will be happier in like a 24x48 cage. They are a large breed and when you get a nest box in there and then have 10 kits running around there will be no room in a 24x24 for her and the nest box. The bucks do fine in a 24x36 as he only gets company for short periods of time.
The rabbits you got all look nice and healthy. Good luck on your venture and look forward to hearing more from you.

@ Citylife - would it be possible to somehow add on to the hutches that I have? Or how would I go about making a little more room for them?

Most people in your situation just remove a divider between holes to get larger pens. If you can, keep the removal clean so you have the option to reinstall something there if you need to reclaim the hole.
