Stony Garden. Buns and Chicks

[Hens and Roos]

I think it is trail and error for all of us when we start out. Sounds like you have a good set up going, it would be cool to see a picture of it sometime We are waiting for 2 more crates.

We have a younger buck that we are correctly using and so far 1 litter and 2 more does hopefully to kindle about April 30th. We are hoping to make him our main buck and cull out the extra ones(we don't like their performance)

Baby buns from my brown doe



My rabbitry set up. Large, 8 stall hutch and single hutch with the brown doe and babies. Entire set up is fenced and I have a small pallet shed that will fit 4 bales of straw or hay.

Thanks ya'll.

Got my broody hen coop set up. I have 2 broody hens in there. Hopefully I'll have chicks next week.


A disappointing find today. Another dead kit. It was 6 weeks old. It looks like mom rabbit might have stepped on it's head. The skull was squished. So I'm down to 3 kits.

sorry to hear about the kit-

Good luck with the hatching

My broody hen is eating the eggs. I had 15 and now I'm down to 9. The remaining 9 are in the incubator. I had a surprise chick hatch last night. A little black australorp. Waiting anxiously for the rest to hatch.

Looks like today is hatching day! Yesterday 2 hatched. Today, 8 more have hatched so far. I had a total of 29 eggs. Hoping to get the second layer of the rabbit hutch done today too.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!!
