Hinkle's Hillock

Hinkle’s Hillock is an English Angora rabbit breeder in Caledonia, IL, serving northern Illinois near Rockford. Hayly Hinkle has bred English Angora rabbits for several years, maintains American Rabbit Breeders Association membership and follows health-screening protocols recommended by national rabbit associations.

Rabbits are raised in spacious, climate-controlled hutches with daily interaction, allowing young animals to develop calm, curious temperaments. Select bloodlines emphasize wool density and uniformity, resulting in fleeces favored by hand spinners for softness and resilience. Embracing a small-farm setting, Hinkle’s Hillock blends traditional husbandry with gentle handling to support both wool production and rabbit well-being.

Local veterinarians familiar with small mammals perform routine wellness exams and advise on nutritional plans tailored to each age group. Embodying a commitment to clarity, Hayly Hinkle provides transparent records of lineage, wool quality evaluations and health results to interested home spinners and small-scale fiber artisans. Prospective owners receive guidance on grooming and spinning preparation to make the fiber-shearing process comfortable for both rabbit and handler.
