HOW TO BUILD THE HUTCHES 91 
will enable the back yard breeder to keep at 
least two breeding does, one buck and still 
have an extra hutch for the use of the grow- 
ing stock. By a very conservative manage- 
ment the breeder should be able to keep one 
table supplying a family of five in no need of 
meat and still have several rabbits to sell fre- 
quently to pay the cost of feed and some re- 
turn on the investment. 
Another hutch of similar size and affording 
the same results as to yearly production is 
shown in Plan No. 3. This hutch also has 
four separate hutches, but it has the arrange- 
ment of having two hutches above those which 
are nearer the ground. 
It is 3 by 6 feet in size and 4 feet 9 inches 
high. Each hutch is just 3 by $ feet in size. 
No nest boxes are built in but the breeder will 
have to provide removable nest boxes about 
18 inches square and 1 foot high which can 
be put in the hutch when occasion warrants it. 
By using an awning as shown in the illustra- 
tion the interior of the hutches can be shaded
