Baby Bunnies

This year we have added lots of new things to our farm. The garden has doubled in size...the number of animals has also grown! We did downsize in the number of horses that we had from 4 to 2. The other horse and pony were just not being ridden and with the price of hay going up we decided that we would be better off getting rid of them and investing in something that would give us a return. The goats will give us milk, meat and more kids (since we now have 2 bucks for breeding). We have several chickens which will provide eggs here in a couple of months as well as some meat. Something that my husband wanted to try was rabbits for meat. One of the rabbits kindled on July 27th and had 11 babies. They have been weaned and are doing great. All 11 are still alive, we had planned on maybe losing some, but so far so good! The other doe gave birth yesterday, August 26th at 12:40pm ish and had 6 babies. They are born naked with their eyes closed. It doesnt take long for the fur to come in and for their eyes to open. They grow very fast!Going to buy a freezer tonight as we will be butchering some goats this fall, will soon have rabbit meat to put away as well as some chickens!Good eating
