The meat rabbits


A few days after acquiring George the bunny I saw a Craigslist ad for four New Zealand White does, about four months old, that could be put in with a NZW buck before pickup if the buyer liked. I answered and it turned out someone else had been a no-show to buy them so they were available again. I arranged a time and place to meet the seller and off we went, an hour away, to Falksville, AL. I was very pleased to see four healthy, bright-eyed rabbits in the back of her truck, so they went home with us to be the broodstock for our future rabbit consumption. They were almost impossible to tell apart until they got separate cages but they were jokingly named Broiler, Roaster, Fryer and Stewer (later renamed Hasenpfeffer).
