Mrs.Cicero Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 showed up in my rabbitry. Sigh. I was short two cages, so I had a pair of growout rabbits together in each one. They were only supposed to be there until they were 12 weeks old and large enough to process and NOT mature enough to be breeding, but things have been a little hectic, so I'm behind on the processing - I was going to do it TODAY, but instead I was lifting an AC unit and filling in the sinking ground beneath it. Anyway, when I dividing up the growouts, I carefully put the does in one cage and the bucks in another. I thought. Two days ago, one of the bucks started growling LOUDLY at the other, so, since I'd emptied my indoor cages (I had a couple rabbits indoors while their poor noses recovered from being chomped by the damn mosquitoes), I moved the growly one to a basement cage. Annnnnnd, now there are 6 rabbits in that cage. SHE had 4 blue and 1 black Silver Fox kit today... right when I was SUPPOSED to be sending rabbits to Freezer Camp, but didn't get to it (again)...obviously fathered by the buck that I correctly identified as a buck. I'm probably in trouble with alphabet-people for assuming the NOW-A-DOE'S gender earlier. Sigh. Chickens are SO MUCH EASIER. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Lol. Sorry! It’s a silly joke among people who raise rabbits because it is not so easy to tell what sex a rabbit is when they are young, so when we’re wrong, we all blame the rabbit sex change fairy for messing things up… this is the first time the fairy has visited my rabbits… but I doubt it will be the last, especially if I try sexing rabbits without my reading glasses again… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always the same sex. Right! Right? That's probably why Dad hated rabbits. (and that time that Harvey almost eviscerated him) I saw a tv show about chicken farms and they "squirted" them before they looked, and then threw them in the proper pen. What's up with that??? I remember Mom taking guesses at all her peeps, but I never ever saw her squirt one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
