I live on 21 acres in East Tn. We run what I call a non-profit farm, (we don't make any money). We have goats and fowl. We also have about 12 acres of pasture and areas of wild "Rabbitat". Being rural, we figured having rabbits and other small critters, would prevent fox and coyote from trying to get our chickens and guineas, easy food instead of trying to get into the tractors. So far it seems to be working. We have Bobwhite quail, though the neighbors say, "no we don't":wink:. So my question is, how many rabbits is too many. At just before sunset, I can go out and see 6 or more of the bunnies in just about any direction. The chickens run by them in the morning when let out to free range. The goats watch them playing on the hill.
My question is there anything I need to be worried about? Should I lower their numbers? Remove habitat? Just don't want them to get out of hand.
Thanks for any and all advice.
