Wild Rabbit, ok to feed to my flock?

[Jaygood787]

I just went rabbit hunting with a bunch of buddys and was able to score a bunch of meat. There are some not so choice peices that im not sure what to do with. Anybodyever feed rabbit meat to their birds? Also is Raw ok?

I think raw meat would be okay for them, protein! I just wouldn't give them the bones.

Mine eat raw venison when they get lucky. They don't eat the bones. I have to pick them up.

It will not hurt them but they (wild rabbits) are usually full of tapeworms which if they are will infect the birds.

Agree with CH. Mine get all kinds of things. I have never seen them eat the bones and have not seen a carcuss I gave them look like they even tried to.
Just this morning I heated up some rabbit caccatori and rice noodles. They went crazy for it! And when they got a hunk of hot italian sausage they ran through the yard like they had a worm. My rabbit is domestic not wild, so I do not worry about worms.
