Question on Weights

[EggsForIHOP]

I updated my post for you.

Thank you SO SO SO SO MUCH! I think we may be right on track I was so worried they would be scrawny being mixes but it seems not. I'll be sure to look up that other post too!

THANK YOU AGAIN!

Ahhh nuts! My OLD SLOW computer does not do well with the new site....oh well...this things on it's last legs, all the more reason to start seriously looking into a new computer I suppose

Does ANYONE know what the average, common, meat type rabbit SHOULD weight at this point? I'm not competitive, so much as curious...I've googled some and can't find a chart or anything...stupid broiler chickens have growth charts out the wazoo! Shouldn't there be a rabbit growth chart somewhere on this fancy pants internet thing???

WHY are there a ZILLION charts for chicken growth and none on rabbits? I am a nosy curious thing aren't I?

I got this off of a rabbit forum a year or so ago.

Average weight gains for New Zealand rabbits. What to expect from your fryers.

6weeks--2.75 lbs
8 weeks--4.25 lbs
3 months-- 6.50 lbs
4 months--8.00 lbs
5 months--9.00 + a little more on does
6 months minimum standard weights for both sexes

I hope that helps.

Oh cool! Stuff like that does help...I know I am on track and doing something right

Can we get these weights on a sticky post somewhere? Or are they already? This is information I think a lot of people would get use from, I know I will!!
