i want to know later if the "work" table doesn't stress out the live rabbits. hubby dispatched a couple in front of the breeder does, and when time for the 3rd one, they all went spastic. had heard that could happen, didn't beleive it till i actually saw it.now hubby puts them in a cage and carries them out of site before doing them in. nice barn. your rabbits and hubby must be neater than mine.

Love the bunny barn. Can I have one? Love the DH picture too. Can I have one of those too? I really could use a DH about now. Haven't had one since about 1995.

QM - you can have him on the days he's whiny and grumpy....I get to keep him on the productive days...
The buck barn is 99.9% done, DH worked his butt off today and got it finished, except for reinforcing one of the doors....we're afraid big boys will bump it and get out, so he's going to run for a better latch tomorrow. I took 'in process' pics of the feeder as he built it, I will post them tomorrow once I get a finished pic of it...he kept working after I came up for the day.
Currycomb, the buns have only been in it for 5 minutes....he put plastic on the wall behind them but I'm sure it'll be nasty in no time.
He's only going to 'process' them there, he'll take them outside to actually dispatch them.

WOW! I want! So cool you got another SF doe coming.
We dispatch our rabbits within eyesight of other rabbits. Not directly in front of them so much, just if they stand at the front of the cage and choose to look in this direction they would be able to see it. Haven't had any issues with them freaking out. Methinks I will be a touch more thoughtful on positioning in the future though....

Well the silver fox doe deal fell through, the friend who was picking the new buns up for me said they were too small to meet the breed standard, so she didn't get them.
OK, folks....I can now officially shut up 'bout the buck barn / pen / bunny barn b/c they are DONE (except for paint and it's still too cold to do that).
Here's the feeder in process....DH frames it out, then puts 6" PVC cut in half in the bottom for the 'feed' part.

Then he uses goat panel (4" holes) for the 'hay' part, stapling in at the top so they stay put. The divider in the middle is to discourage Chaos from shoving the other boys completely out of the feeder.
So we will enter through the door and feed from this side, where the hay and feed can will be well out of their reach.... The little gray access door is where the water bucket will be, so that I can easily get to it to fill / clean it w/out the boys getting me all stinky. The white door in the back will be open unless it's really nasty, so the boys can get out to their pasture.
