The Best Overall Rabbit Breeds for the Homestead

[@Revrett]

You have a way of presenting information in a useful way. As someone who is looking to start raising rabbits for meat for my family, your videos have been very helpful. Thanks.

Somebody who actually discusses tempermament? Thanks be to God! Nowhere else can you find such information - shelves of books and hours on the internet returns limp platatudes and utter drivel. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, it is greatly and gratefully appreciated!

[@robertjones7023]

So... I butchered and process my first rabbit. It went well, I ended up a bloody mess, but did not contaminate the meat while gutting. It was a buck, pretty smelly... but all went well. I am cold-soaking the meat now. One thing I realized is that this rabbit had a lot of fat so I will need to adjust my feed. I did an okay job quartering it up. It took me about half an hour total. All in all, I would give myself a 3 out of 10. Next time I hope to speed up the process and efficiency. I did not enjoy the killing part but don't feel bad either... my rabbits are all well cared for and had great healthy lives. Thanks for all your information and support, now I need to find a great recipe!

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

The dispatching part is never easy, so if you made it through once you can do it again. You will find what works best for time and technique through repetition. After a few hundred we can do one from cage to cooler in 12 minutes if we work alone. If we tag team the process, we can get it down to 6 minutes a rabbit by breaking up the process equally. Congrats on getting the first of many done.

I will confirm the silver fox breed is in fact in Ohio. I’m in west central Ohio just starting out with meat rabbits and I had pretty good luck sourcing mine locally.

Silver Fox are my homesteads choice. They are terrific. They come in black, blue, chocolate, lilac, white, broken, and I know someone that has Alaskan Red.

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

"Officially" they only come in Black. Blue was once an accepted color as well. I can't imagine they'll ever get the other colors recognized (except maybe chocolate), but who knows? My friend just picked up a trio over the weekend and is planning to start breeding them again. Nifty rabbits for sure! 😊

[@kenmarlin6431]

Nikki, thanks very much. I plan to start my rabbit program this year. The closest American breeder is 400 miles away from my home in North Georgia. Probably worth it since we have 8 grandkids that would absolutely want to help. Your the best!

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

There actually is a breed in Georgia. He had posted a trio of Americans for sale in the Rare Breed group on Facebook. I was interested but there wasn't any transporters going that far south that could come back to Oregon. I want to say it was JI Williamson. He does have blacks in his lines, which as I understand it is pretty common for the east coast breeders.

The mom was annoyingly timid and had some eating and growth issues. Once she had her litter she became super friendly and is an awesome mom!!! We have a deposit for the BK/WT BKN which we sold for $65 :) and will be delivered after weaning. It has been a really rewarding experience.

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

So interesting conversation I had with someone a few days ago in a FB group - apparently he worked on the TAMU project. He said when the project disbanded and went to private herds the goals of the program were forgotten about, and animal selection became varied by breeder. He said the animals we see today as TAMU are not at all the same, and that there is no consistency from herd to herd. The original folks who made the TAMU considers them to no longer actually exist. What people call TAMU is just a well adapted composite. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that, but it sounds likely as the very same thing happened with the Texas A&M Quail. Just wanted to share since it just came up. Hope your holidays are wonderful!

[@TheAmbulatingFerret]

I'm glad you mentioned availability. I would love to raise American Chinchilla; but, no one within 300miles is breeding them. The few that pop up closer are for pets only and it doesn't sit right with me to lie about my intent.

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

Am Chins are starting to pick up in a lot of areas, so be patient. In Oregon alone I've seen four new breeders pop up in the last year. As heritage breeds continue to gain interest I'm really hoping that more people will turn to them. Thanks for watching, and enjoy your holiday!

[@tsttrewes]

@@SpragueRiverHomestead love to hear more about the American chins! What's your general thoughts about the breed?

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

I've got them on the list for a video too, LOL. I like the American Chins and had considered getting them at one time but ended up getting Champagne D'Argents instead. Huge mistake as the Champagnes are super finicky buns. Chinchillas bring their own troubles. You have to be ready to play in a very small gene pool, and the banding of the hairshaft in chinchilla requires a lot of diligence to breed correctly - you can easily get them too dark or too washed out. Their type leaves something to be desired, and I applaud the breeders that are culling hard and really turning the breed around. You do have to watch out for 'shortcutters' who are crossing in other breeds to fast track type. They don't seem to understand that it will undermine the breed as a whole if they aren't careful. Otherwise, from what I've seen and heard in talking to those tackling chin projects they are good mom's, have good litter sizing (8-10), and fair to good dress out. Growth is a bit slower than you'd see in NZ, and the feed conversion isn't as good either. Overall though, if you can find good stock I'd give them a go.

I can agree that even tamed down NZ's can still be really flightly. They take longer to tolerate being handled. Probably 85% of rabbit scratches have been from new zealands. Almost none from my silver fox, even my extremely flightly buck does well when being picked up now.

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

It's a real bummer, as I've always liked the broken blacks. My friend had a gorgeous doe that she showed back when I first started.

I have Champagnes. Seems I recall you rolling your eyes when mentioning the breeding of this variety. Please forgive if I have mixed up my channels. In Oregon too, on Snake River. Lines are mostly from WA, Puget Sound, Camano Island.

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

I'm not a big eye roller, but anything is possible I suppose. I raised Champagnes and don't recommend them. I had lines/animals from some of the best West Coast breeders and I found them to have poor personalities, lackluster mothering skills and to be difficult breeders if not bred back to back. Any time we allowed a doe to sit open for more than a month between litters it would be an absolute fight to get them rebred. They build internal fat faster than any breed I've owned. Beautiful rabbits and I really wanted to love them. We tried for several years and couldn't get anything close to consistency with them. I loved my boys who were sweet enough but more like big silvered potatoes.

I love the knowledge you share about rabbits and I've learned a lot from you! Thanks, and Merry Christmas!!

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

The Cinnamon is a nice rabbit. It was developed from the NZ (and a few other breeds) but I've never heard anything bad about their temperament. They are SUPER hard to come by, and are suffering some from a very small gene pool. I am working on a video about the Cinnamon which should be out in January. I am also working on a video for the American Sable. That one won't be out until February or March, as I'm still looking for a breeder to chat with that can answer some more questions. Hopefully I will have more info for you soon!

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

We added a black recently because I absolutely love his type. I've always said I wouldn't raise them because they aren't a recognized color. You have to be super careful with blacks in the program too, since it is a dominant color. I knew a breeder a few years back that ended up starting over completely because she basically turned her herd black by mistake.

Im very allergic to cats have no problem with rabbits. I can pick one up and shove my nose into them and not sneeze. They dont smell like anything and if they do they smell like hay. Only time they directly make me sneeze is if they are molting and loose hairs get into my nose. So if you have a grass allergy thatll be more likely to give you problems. Or letting litter pans go too long between cleanings.

Hi Nicky in terms of safety. Do you ever have raccoons reach into the cage wire that can injure a rabbit. I plan to keep rabbits outside with only a cage. Not inside a closed shed or anything. Thoughts?

We don't have raccoons where we live. I have heard of them stealing kits out lf cages, and injurying young rabbits. If raccoons are in issue where you live, you may look at building your own cages out of smaller wire (1×1 or even 1/2x1 for top and sides) or covering tops and sides with 1/2x1/2 hardware cloth.

[@narsonspose]

I really appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with us, you are an excellent teacher. My wife and I are setting up a rabbitry for both meat and pelt production on a small scale and I've been busy making cages (14 gauge 1"x2"). We've come to the issue of nest boxes and have decided on removable wire boxes that will attach to the bottom of the cage with a trap door providing access in and out. My questions are these: Given we hope to raise American Chinchillas what is the appropriate size to make the nest box, and is 1/2" x 1" wire the right opening size? Finally, given we live in West Tennessee with relatively mild winters but hot humid summers, is there an alternative solution to the nest box question you would suggest we look at?

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

Drop down boxes are fine. I'd look at the sani-nest from Bass Equipment for inspiration. I have some that we use in the cages during summer since I have stacked cages. The dimensions are like 10x18x8 I think. It should list the size on their website. They're made of 14ga floor wire I believe. You do need to use a floor liner (cardboard or something) to keep their feet from falling through.

[@narsonspose]

@@SpragueRiverHomestead Thanks for the suggestion. You mention 'floor wire', I've been using the same 1"X2" wire all around. Each cage has a 16" ceramic floor tile that rabbits can use as a resting place. Should I change out the bottom wire to the 1/2"x1" wire as well?

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

Floors should never be bigger than 1/2x1 inch. The 1x2 wire will cause injury from legs going through. Young rabbits won't be able to walk in it all, and newborns can crawl right through 1x2.

[@narsonspose]

@@SpragueRiverHomestead Thanks for the update. To be clear did you mean that every cage, the adult cages as well as the nest boxes, should have 1/2"x1" bottoms. I was planning on 1/2x1 for the nests but if necessary I'll retrofit the adult cage bottoms as well.

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

@@narsonsposeyes, all cages should have the smaller wire. Adult feet can go through 1x2 so all cages need to have 1/2 x 1.

[@rsl82568]

yes I tried to raise American Chinchilla and New Zealand rabbits. I come to find out that American Chinchilla has a stronger flavor in the meat. The flavor is much stronger than the flavors of other rabbits I have ate.

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

I have had people tell me that some breeds taste different from others. I've never noticed any real flavor differences myself. That's interesting!

[@stephenleach4485]

You've helped finalize our choice of Americans. We were leaning towards them, especially as a heritage and rare breed, which is important to me. They seemed to meet our needs overall the best. We previously had New Zealands, but were not completely pleased with temperament, having kids who want to help and rabbits that liked to fight their handler. We had some easy breeders and some that were hard to breed or didn't mother at all. It sounds like the Americans will overcome those issues. We are ok traveling a bit to find some excellent American breeding stock, so if you have recommendations of breeders, feel free to pass on the info. Thanks for the excellent videos!

[@jacindam8721]

I agree the New Zeeland's and the Californians even have a questionable temperament in my opinion. I much prefer to have the calm attitude where you don't have to worry about your fingers when your hand is near the cage....I say near the cage because my Cali's will nail your fingers if you are not fast enough with their morning treat. The French lop crosses are so laid back anyone can reach in and pet them and they are so lovey. I will take the hit in less kits ( although both my Cali's seem to struggle with consistent breeding and litter size) or food conversion to have the better mannered rabbits regardless of breed. I think I may get an American and see how she does, if she is as laid back as my crosses.

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

French lops are pretty sweet overall. I have a friend who breeds them in IL. They just have so much BONE. I do agree though, I'll gladly take some hits to avoid temperamental rabbits. That's why I started in Harlequins to begin with - I was so tired of big, psycho buns.

What do you know about texas A&M Tamkin New Zealand Breed ?

[@SpragueRiverHomestead]

TAMU or TAMUK are a composite and aren't New Zealands. Quite a few breededs were used in their development. I've spoken to several folks who worked on the original project and according to them the TAMU of today isn't truly what A&M created. While breeders have maintained records and kept the breed together, their selection process changed the animals over time. Supposedly the animals are getting smaller and the litters are too. There's also been breeders crossing NZ in and still calling them TAMU (Again, going off of what I've been told). In the original project the animals grew quickly and packed on muscle faster. They vary wildly by color as the focus was on meat and not pelt. Being bred for commercial applications they are often high strung and flighty. I've seen reports where they were producing 12-14 kits consistently thay reached as much as 6# by 8 weeks. Specifically they were bred for heat resistance to survive the Texas summers. I have also heard that they do not deal with cold weather as well as most domestics. Personally, I wouldn't own them based on what I've read and heard. I don't enjoy dealing with flighty 12# rabbits, or those that don't produce consistently.
