can chickens eat rabbit parts

[Sandrachx]

like hearts, lungs, intestines? i recently read a blog where someone was giving them those parts after dressing out some rabbits for the freezer.

it's meat protein..give it to them..not going to hurt them.

They love it. Chickens are omnivors and meat really shows a change in their feathering and health. It is good for them. I boil up meat scraps from my kitchen to feed to mine. I am also raising meat rabbits now and plan to use what we don't eat for animal feed supplements.

I will have to show this thread to DH & DS. They have chidded me for feeding boiled chicken scraps to my chicks.

miss prissy: thanks for your response. a young friend of ours is raising rabbits for meat and tried it out. i wasn't sure of the sensibility of it. seems like i read somewhere not to feed chickens what you yourself wouldn't eat - but maybe that was just for spoiled food.

do you raise your rabbits for meat? we were thinking of trying to do so as well, but first i have to eat some rabbit to see if i like it... than my sweet husband will have to do the deed - not me!

forgot - so the trick is to cook any meat (boil only?) before they get it?
