Raising Rabbits: Raising Pastured Rabbits for Meat, Fur or as Pets, Expert Advice in a Comprehensive Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798646182815)

Rearing rabbits make a lot of sense in so many ways compared to chicken. Yes, I know chicken do produce tasty eggs and meat, but rabbits also produce equally if not better tasting meat, fur and much more.

What's more; bunnies are in many ways easier to keep and maintain than chicken, are far less messy than chicken, yield ready-to compose compost, are pretty easier to keep and house, don't require too much space, are not noisy and disruptive, naturally grow super-fast (without any hormones), multiply fast and much more

The $44 billion broiler chicken industry is big, but these are benefits it can't compete with, as these are all perfect ingredients for anyone wishing to raise high-quality animals in small spaces without needing too much maintenance work - a perfect recipe for the modern busy farmer who has a million and one other things to juggle with
