What rabbits are these and what is a meat rabbit?

The fact that this person gives you so much info in just the first 10 minutes tells you he has seen both the good and the bad of people raising meat rabbits. I like this guys honesty and straight forwardness, no bs. And how true that many start with the intent of self sustainability but end up with expensive pets.

I personally want chickens and ducks for eggs and pigs and rabbit for meat and pelts and goats/sheep for meat and milk.

Isnt humane supposed to be without suffering? Cutting the achilles is painful and scary, then the throat.. if this was done to a humane would it be considered humane? I dont understand how throat cutting is humane pls explain😢

What do you think about a large dog cage for a tractor (without the bottom tray)? If so how many in each I have 2 36x30 from my husky.

Use tree Lucerne tagasaste

Link for the J clips?

Really interesting you went through all this without mentioning taste. I personally love rabbit, but most people in the US are not accustomed to it. That's a barrier

Chicken manure is terrible. I currently raise some but I'm definitely not continuing. For me, the stress from raising them isn't worth the meat that comes off them

Tks you a lot

could you milk a rabbit for milk?

Nice points and straight to the point

Why doesn't gluconeogenesis prevent rabbit starvation?

Great vid!

Are pine needles safe?

The “red spot” is called a meat spot and has nothing to do with a rooster or egg fertility. It occurs when a mature egg ruptures from the ovary to continue its journey through the reproductive system to be laid. It usually ruptures from a place where no blood veins cross, but if they do it tends to be a genetic trait from a specific bird and they’ll continue to produce eggs with those blood spots/ meat spots more often then others.

Wow! Really appreciate ALL that in detail information! Thanks

Ingenious 🎉 Thanks for sharing this knowledge. Gratitude!

8:10 you're close on the term. It's simply called tree hay.

When will we get more updates? You had some stuff you were going to update us on. I hope all is well on your homestead.

Dude, I'm pretty sure we would be friends if we lived closer. This whole video was super helpful, and it was a completely new perspective I had never heard before. Thank you.

thank you again. may i ask what kind of knife you suggest?

I heard ones that the Chinese tries to eat animals that have less chakras than we do because they don’t want to absorb the negative energy of killing a more complex animal

You can always farm your own insect for your chickens

How often do you use this? Do you put it in the food as well?

Is it weird I always liked the processing side? Sometimes I forget other ppl in their whole life hadn’t held an animals heart, seen the inside spill out of the carcass, or felt the blade splitting hairs as you went about your work. Then again some people have never actually been hungry. I was raised on a farm I’ve processed chicken, turkey, pig, duck, fish, cattle, dove, and deer…. When you bring a meal to the table that you’ve labored over for the ppl you love it just tastes better. It’s a necessary life skill.

I like to watch african rabbit farmers. They feed a lot of stuff to the growouts that we wouldnt recomend like banana leaves

Volcano rabbit

How can I get Lava Rabbits to the States

Brod fork the tracks... char the wood and add it to the goats food... use a portable pin for goats move regular and seed behind.... enjoy the new farm

Can meat rabbits get diseases from native rabbits?

THANK YOU!!! I'm so grateful for the thorough explanations and detailed instructions! We can't afford meat anymore and are already butchering chickens. We got rabbits and just needed some instruction. Again, thank you!

I don't get your meat mutt comment, who cares? What are you, racist?😂 If you're going to eat it, IDC.

Raising animals is only outlawed in cities to protect capitalism. Watch them chicken eggs skyrocket but they won't allow you to own a hen that really isn't loud. My neighbor has one but you'd never know unless you looked over his privacy fence. I'll never snitch on my neighbor.

a note about some of the less common breeds... almost any of the not white rabbits (i include colored NZs, and californians here) LOOK more like pet or show rabbits to the typical nosy neighbor, or township inspector. row after row of white rabbits, even if they are all show bunnys and not ever intended to be eaten, LOOK more like livestock to a lot of folks. also, if you have a heritage breed- especially a rare one-, simply stating (honestly) i am helping to preserve a threatened rabbit variety! they are kind of rare..." tends to get a lot of folks to back off.

wow! the florida white sounds AWESOME for those of us with small lots!

my local laws specifically ban chickens, QUAIL!!!! ducks, etc (i dont get it) so i raise pigeons and now rabbits

thank you!

Thank you. Exactly the information I need and want. I know why I want rabbits … so need to watch the rest of your offerings.

Thank you 😊

Question...I am new to breeding rabbits. I feed them organic just like my chickens since my family will be eating them. I was only able to get 2 until the other kits are weaned. My doe and buck are almost 9 weeks now. I feed them the head size amount of pellets (1/2 c), body size amount of Timothy hay, and tail size amount of sweet potato greens, etc. My concern is that the New Country Orangic pellets are only 15% protein. I do grow comfrey among other herbs along with moringa trees. Could I supplement the comfrey as protein to get to 18% because I don't believe 15% is enough. I started out mixing the pellets they came with (non-gmo) adding my organic pellets gradually so not to upset their stomachs, but they now eat the organic ones and leave the non-gmo ones. I guess they taste better, lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Love my Palominos. Just had a buck reach 6lbs at 11 weeks everyone else is over 5lbs

I'm setting up a colony about 50m from a place where I have running water. PE 25 pipe on a right path could be a solution, and it must end deep in the ground. Tiny closed cellar with a tap etc.

my boss and i were discussing ways to get more protein; i have raised rabbits for a few years but had never compared rabbit to chicken; so i used google to look at the different nutrition values between rabbit chicken and turkey as well as eggs and cottage cheese. i found out that not only does rabbit have more protein to all but also and this is a biggie, it has 91% of your daily B12 where chicken has 1% and turkey has 9% per serving. This is huge. and a good reason to raise rabbits

Chickens are okay, but rabbits are hands down the best. I raise rabbits and quails, which imo are also better than chickens, they are in nice size, quiet, don`t smell as much as chickens, eggs are smaller but more packed with nutriens, etc. If you have greenhouse you might also consider adding a small aquaponics system there, it`s a nice way of raising fishes and have awesome, free fertilizer.

This is THE BEST video I’ve found on meat breeds. I completely agree with every point. I even have Florida Whites who have hit 3lbs at 6 weeks.

but who eats rabbit skin or fat? where as chicken skin and dark meat is delicious. that is the main issue with eating rabbits. for those that need to lose weight it would be good tho.

And most importantly make sure to wash them in your kitchen sink and throw your rabbit pee glove in the counter
