Re: [MBZ] OT: chickens

To me rabbits taste like chicken, maybe halfway between light and dark meat. I've butchered hundreds of the things. Relatively few chickens, in comparison. Also ducks, geese, and turkeys. Peeling the pelt off of a rabbit is much easier than dealing with the feathers: scald, pluck, singe. Or, go

I have a friend who had planned to raise meat rabbits, I'm not sure if he ever did or not. I remember that he was having a hard time getting rabbits if he admitted why he wanted them. Its interesting that people will give you a rabbit right up until the point they realize you want to eat it.

I wonder if its a regional variation but I think your numbers are maybe on the low side, or perhaps they're taking wintertime averaging into account. When I was a kid we had as many as 25 birds at a time. Got pretty much an egg per bird per day. You end up just absolutely swamped in eggs. My

I considered it, for a few moments. Far too much work and expense for small timers. Most chickens do not have enough meat to be worthwhile. It takes around 15-18 weeks for them to grow large enough for adequate meat. Got to process them before puberty to reduce hormones flavoring the flesh.
