Best practices for ethical meat birds raising

[CDee]

I understand. One year my father butchered and froze a baby beef. My sister got tired of eating steak.

You might research raising rabbit for meat. I don't do that but it works for some people.

My husband is 100% on board with meat rabbits. I, on the other hand, had a pet French lop growing up (I know meat rabbits are different) but I cannot see them as anything other than pets lol!

After doing more research, per your mention of age, I do think maybe it isn't the right fit for us, currently, to breed our own. I didn't know how age played into cooking methods, so thank you for bringing that to my attention! I've only got 2 littles and my husband and myself and he hunts so we really just wanted some chicken to switch it up so we aren't always eating venison. But we're new to raising meat and the information online is always so varried. Thanks for taking the time to answer some of my questions, I truly appreciate it.

He needs to start hunting turkeys too! Something to do in the spring and fantastic meat as well. Some people dislike wild turkey, and its definitely very different than a Butterball. But prepared right, I prefer it to domestic turkey
