Nice. Video. Broad spectrum information which is great. We feed a lot of corn and rice bran to our birds in The Philippines. We use rice hulls for bedding. We do not package the birds. We butcher the chickens and then eat them. Most of our birds are finished in 45 days. We raise the birds to just over 1.4 kilos. The birds dress out at just under a kilo, 2.2 pounds. Our country is poor and many have a hard time just buying a kilo of dresses meat. We do raise our birds to about 5 pounds for our own table. We try to raise our own chicks using a homemade incubator. We have raised both rabbits and chickens and we prefer chickens. We hand pluck chickens. Boiling water, a small knife and we eat our own birds. We raise enough birds to pay for our own birds. We are bless. Thanks

For my first time ever, I had to improvise proceeding a batch of rabbits. I actually McGievered a dispatcher with a slip knot in a piece of baling twine just hung on a branch. Same with the hanging station for processing. I had always had a popper and metal hanger (from a bike rack). Ther only thing not done "cheaply" was the knife. I honestly couldn't believe it. It wasn't that different than having all the "right stuff". I did it out of necessity, and didn't really think much about it. My husband was so impressed. I didn't let not having the perfect things inhibit me from doing the necessary jobs on the homestead. That is just what homesteading does. It teaches you who you are and exposes some things about yourself, you may not ever know were there. Thanks for your videos and talking honestly about the realities of raising meat.

During my peak production periods (spring and fall), it costs me roughly $1 per week per rabbit for feed. So at 3 months it is about $12 per rabbit to day of processing for roughly 3 lbs of meat meaning $4/lb. I don't have a flat yard so I can't take advantage of grass grazing so I spend more for feed (pellets and Tomothy Hay). This does not count the NRE for hutches, bowls, feed bins, etc.. Last year we processed nearly 100 rabbits for our family.

This has been a very good series. I waited till you had completed it so I could sit down and watch the whole thing. I know the actual $$'s can vary for area to area. Just knowing the amount of feed each one requires is a big help. I have raised chickens before (not for meat), I am not new to them. I will be new to rabbits when I start with them. My goal is to be able to grow as much of my livestock's feed as I can. This is why I hesitate to start rabbits at this point because that is not even remotely possible where I am right now.

My best suggestions after 4 years of doing this. 1, Cornish Rock cross is the meat bird 2, Start small. My fisrt year I only raised 12 3, Tsc near the end of the week during chick days. March and April. After the first week it cost them too much to not sell them because of how much they eat. So the end of the week and Saturday And Sunday. I got mine for .25 cents per bird. 4, If you butcher yourself you save a ton of money, after getting the plucking figured out it usually takes 15 minutes per bird to clean. I finally bought a plucker so it will be even faster this year. 5, Go to your local grain mill that farmers use. My chicken feed is $20/100lbs. When you first get them you have to get starter/grower feed. I buy that from TSC as well 12.99/50lbs 6, Brood them cheap, my wife and I just buy a Rubbermaid tub about $20 and a bulb for 5 we already have the lamp just seem to need a new bulb every year. 7, Don't get scared this will be one of those fulfilling experiences as long as you don't over do it. I actually did 42 by hand last year took me a while wife only plucked 3. Just do 12 birds then expand in the following years. 8, Don't forget calcium, I buy crushed oysters from the grain mill for $8 per bag and it last all 6-8 weeks. This prevents their bones not being strong enough to hold them. Cornish cross grow so fast that sometimes their legs get locked in a forward position and best option at that point is to kill them and cut the chicken breast out. If you get them to full weight without this then you gave them enough calcium. 9, When they get put into their final pen in weeks 4,5, and 6 make sure you over feed them a little bit. If done right you can have 7 or 8 pounds birds by week 6-7. If it's warm enough you can move them out at week 3 with a heat lamp. If they are too small they crowd together so tight that they suffocate themselves. Week 4 they may still need a light but I don't remember last year. 10, You can do it cheaper than what the articles say it just takes experience and a little bit of trying it your way. 11, After butcher let the cleaned and gutted bird sit in the fridge overnight. Helps tenderize the meat for cooking day and makes it easier to work with. I even experiment with inject a brine of garlic and salt water into the cut up chicken before freezing. Not to add weight but for the final taste. Then I vacuum seal and freeze. We only freeze a few whole birds every year now. The wife likes it when I separate the drumsticks and wings and breasts. Hens are are great for eggs if you want to do that to. If you have a market to sell eggs the egg sales can pay for your feed for the meat birds. Of course this only worked when I had 22 birds my second year. But the eggs are 1/3rd the cholesterol as store bought white eggs. They have way more protein and beta caratene, the stuff that makes your skin look nice. Rabbits are way more expensive unless you have a good market for the pelts. The meat is great. I have a Flemish Giant buck with a Cinnamon doe. I get at the minimum 4.5lbs after butchered but it takes longer for them to mature. I could probably do a faster growing meat rabbit but would get 2.5lbs per rabbit after butcher and a smaller pelt. All in all the rabbits have been a money drain as I have not got my system down yet. It's hard to tell the sex they just have smaller parts. I have some babies now that have a beautiful coat but it only happens when one of the kits get old enough to breed with momma. I try not to let this happen but it does if not butchered or separated early enough. The coats are nice with just my buck and doe but there are interesting color blends when they keep it in the family. Presenters did an excellent job of this video but it can still be done cheaper. Last year our final cost .97 cents per pound. If you have a burner on your grill that can be used to heat the water up for plucking. I have even used a wood fire but I was able to get my hands on some free bricks and built an outdoor fireplace/rocket stove.

We freeze dry all of our food. It is cooked and the meat is deboned. We have never done rabbits. We were wondering if you have any idea if rabbit meat could replace ground beef, if it were ground up to the same consistency as hamburger, or would it not pack into patties? We had 32 hens, so we have chicken experience. but we lost several to Coons that we could not keep out, so after a year we sold the chickens. We have watched at least 10 of your rabbit videos and have enjoyed everyone. We will build all of the items needed. Do to your rabbit videos we are going to start off with 3 Does and 1 Buck.

its actually really simple to calculate electricity costs. figure the wattage of your heat lamps. multiply that number by how many hours in total you run them for. you will get a total power used value in watt.hours. divide that by 1000 you now have the value in kilowatt hours. find out how much you pay per kilowatt hour and multiply that by how much power you used. you now have a dollar value for how much it costs in electricity. unless you have thousands of chicks its probably not very much though.
