Bunny Prep

We are about 3 weeks from picking up the bunnies, so it is all sorts of bunny prep time out back at the Browns.  This has WHOLLY been a Josh and the kids endeavor.  But I saunter back there once in a while to see what all progress has come and gone in the green house and now the bunny bin area.  Take a look. 

You would be surprised how sweet and earthy a car full of straw smells. 

Anna is so excited about grooming and walking the bunnies on a harness/leash.

The bunny bin. Well, one half of it at least.  This is half the closed portion and one of the screened ends.  Screened porches!  Ha! 

You can see the other half of the bunny bin there where Noah is on the right.  He is lining it with straw.  Anna and Josh are building play equipment for the enclosed yard space for them ... which they lined with wire underneath the ground all around the edges. 

Straw and Rabbit Chow coming at ya! This is my life now.  Well, my life when I stroll out back, that is. ;)

Little hidey hole for the play area.  Super cool!  That green piece encloses it on top.  Noah piled up branches all around it so it would look more natural. ;)

Check out this chick with the power tools!  Building her bunnies a ramp to climb on.

I should probably give the kids a day of school credit for all this work and investment and bunny life they are building. Love this for them!  We go visit with the rabbits tomorrow to see how much they have grown.

Hahaha!! Brooklyn and Natalie used a power drill for her birdhouses! It did look so crazy to see them using it!

This whole bunny thing has actually come to fruition....I remember Lee mentioning that Josh wanted to do this, like, LAST year or some such time frame. What a neat experience this is for the kids! So much fun!

Haha! I had know idea bunnies could be so intensive. Actually, maybe I did a little. Si asked for one for Christmas. After watching a few youtube videos I convinced him a kitten would be just as good. Someday we can kick it outside with our other cat. Ha! We get 56 chicks tomorrow, 50 meat and 6 egg layers. All they need is a big box with a light bulb, bedding, food and water for the next few weeks. Then we will build a mobile run. After 9-10 weeks total we will have a freezer full of chicken.
