Today, with the help of a few siblings and my mom, we cleaned up the rabbitry, moved hutches around, picked up some trash, and finally finished up the new rabbit structure before winter hits :)
Here are our chickens...
Yesterday, I put down a bunch of straw into their outside run. It's been raining a lot lately, so their area was really muddy.
So I stuck a bunch of straw down so they wouldn't have to walk in mud. I also stuck a bunch of the straw inside the actual coop. Now they're fully ready for any type of winter weather!
So as you can see, the hutches have been moved :)
And this red/white sign was a Christmas gift from my brother. I think it's really cute!
Hopefully with the hutches in this new location, they'll heat up by the sun and so the bunnies will stay a little warmer :)
It really made the area by the chicken coop look much more open. I used my wheelbarrow and cleaned up all the bunny droppings that had been underneath the hutch.
And I moved a few bunnies around, so now there are none underneath the hutches :)
There are also no more cages on the side, next to the bench/table :)
It looks much more open :)
And the tarps are currently down, giving a bit of a wind break for all the bunnies :)
But here's the new, finished structure. All that's left is to paint it!
As you can see, I put a few cages on the side where the one hutch had been.
Of course, that was after I cleaned up all the bunny droppings, so it looks really great :)
And yes, the roof is finally on! :D
And here's another sign I got for Christmas :)
Using the tool kit I got for Christmas, I cut out and nailed up tarps to go around the whole new structure, giving the bunnies in the hanging cages full coverage from wind :)
...and now...for something I'm really excited to tell you about!
This is Piccolo's replacement! :)
...and not only that, but...
I got this little guy's sister too!
So one 6 week old boy, one 6 week old girl :)
They're so adorable!!! I haven't named them yet, but I think they're so cute. They're both Mini Lion Heads, like Piccolo was. :)
And Rhett Jr.
With all the cages/bunnies getting moved around, I put him into a larger cage.
He's pure Flemish, so he's going to be HUGE once full grown :)
Plus, he's one of my most active bunnies! So I wanted to make sure he had plenty of space to stretch his legs and run around :)
He's so cute :)
Happy New Years everyone!! I hope you all have a great year, this 2016! :)
