getting back to scheduled breeding

last year I was quite successful breeding even though I got a late start with it. this year I’m hoping to breed 3 to 4 does every two weeks. that means I need to make about 8 more nest boxes. mom and I created a breeding chart that stays in the barn so that we can both be vigilant with getting nest boxes to the does in a timely manner (the year before was kind of a disaster…I blame it on chemo brain). we’ve been using this breeding chart for about a year and a half, and now I think that I will make some changes to it that will make it more useful. perhaps I’ll post them, but for now here is the sheet that we’ve been working with.

adding and subtracting

recently we sold six rabbits and sent more than twice that to freezer camp. we also got three more Champagne does from a fellow breeder to help enhance our program. i’ve been working on loins for several years and have been successful, however now my rabbits are not quite full to the table in the hindquarters. hopefully with the addition of these does we can fix that.
