Not so Blue Origins

(Written by breeder/editor Jenna Luikart)

“I grew up on a farm in Mason County, West Virginia. My mom rescued horses, breeds dairy goats, show poultry (ducks, turkies, chickens, ect), among a few other things. But she could never keep a rabbit. She takes amazing care of all her animals, but for some reason, she couldn’t keep a rabbit alive to save her life.

Personally, I’ve raised poultry myself for 18 years (my entire life of 18 years I should say, LOL). But just recently, I started into rabbits after my mom rescued a breeding pair of chestnut New Zealands after supposedly picking up just a Silkie rooster (turns out he was a cross bred, but that’s beyond the point). The lady was going to just let these two rabbits loose to get ate by something because she didn’t want them anymore. Of course, i’m like, “They’ll die anyways, so what do we have to lose?”

So I care for these two rabbits, and then 3 weeks later and on the day we have to check in animals for our local fair, the doe gives birth to 6 kits! I’m losing my mind because I wasn’t even sure how the adults themselves had survived that long, and now the doe had a litter I had no idea she’d even have (also at this point, I thought the other one was the doe; all I knew was that one was a buck and the other was a doe and nobody even told me which one was which!). I didn’t know how to care for them, but I learned as fast as I could, and the experience of watching the doe raise her kits into adults was eye opening. This was our very first litter at Blue Sky Action Rabbitry, which became our official name a month later.
