Rabbit hutches

We wrote a few weeks back about building new apartments for the laying hens, and well, the rabbits also find themselves needing new quarters because of their expanding population.  We have five pregnant rabbit mothers who are needing a place to take proper care of their clutch.

So we got busy with the boys to prepare four new hutches to meet the demand.

Sebastian Avila uses screws and a drill to assemble the hutch.

Fortunately, when the baby rabbits were born, their mothers had new hutches to protect them in, so they all survived just fine.
