"Regularly breed father/daughter or mother/son.  Brother/Sister usually gives you the best or the worse. It also depends on the genetics involved.  Grandfather/Granddaughter, or Grandmother/Grandson works well too."

"Are you wanting a breeding pair then?  Send me a message and I'll get you more info.  Im actually going to butcher later this month than I thought due to some extra space I made in the barn to keep a few extra show rabbits."

"When are you planning on butchering them? I'd be interested in a pair, and in a practical demonstration if you're willing, but I'll be busy Saturday 10-noonish.

"Yes - but we are talking about staggering them - getting two younger birds now that are not yet ready to lay.  We noticed they were slowing down this spring a little, with larger eggs.  I think we need a few more anyways."

"We let them loose in the yard during the day to hang out under the fig trees.  I put an old pot bottom under their and fill it with water (about 2 inches deep).  They like to stand in it.  We also got a cobra mister we run in the area - doesn't use…"
