We have people who also keep rabbits, fish and other animals, so please include anything that works in your article. Please don't feel pressured to do this right away, but I am interested in reading it. Happy Hollidays.

Hello backyard chicken farmers. I'm Pearce from Zimbabwe. I have been raising free-range chickens and ducks for the past couple of years. I currently have a breed of chickens from India called Kuroiler chickens and intend to start rearing Black Australorp chickens within the next few months. I also raise pekin and muscovy ducks.

My primary reason for raising ducks and chickens is to have access to duck and chicken manure, which I then use to grow potatoes, beans, cabbages, beetroots, bell peppers and other horticulture produce.

I hope to learn a lot from all of you and also share with you all what I have experienced over the years.

Welcome! Have you thought about raising rabbits for their poop?

Yes, I also raise rabbits primarily for their droppings. Rabbit droppings make excellent organic manure for onions, spring onions and garlic, they actually perform way better than chicken and duck manure when growing bulb onions in particular.

I also tried using rabbit urine in my greenhouse, but the results were not very significant. So now I no longer use rabbit urine, I just throw the liquid away
