You have to have very little value for your time to spend 2 months to get $10 worth of meat
If you want a pet, don't eat it
If you want meat, go to the store or go hunt it
Animal agriculture needs economies of scale to be worth the labor
>Animal agriculture needs economies of scale to be worth the labor
No it doesn't. You give them feed once a day, that's all you need. In summer, you move their cage on the grass every couple of days. It's not more complicated than that. If animal husbandry wasn't worthwhile on a small family scale, we wouldn't even have rabbits to begin with because most people in the past lived on homesteads and not proto-industrial plantations.
Chickens are better. >you can feed them scrapes as they eat everything >they give you eggs for a few years >if you feed them good than almost daily >easier to wrangle >chicken shit is easy to clean off >eats all the bugs at your house
The only upside to rabbits is that their shit if a cold fertilizer. Rabbits are a fricking pain in the ass as they stink more and nibble on everything and require twice the maintenance. If you let them roam free than they are gonna dig tunnels everywhere, so if you have a brick deck be prepared for it to collapse as the little frickers dug under it. I would say chickens are better as you can let them roam free and they won't run away and will go in at night when you lock them up. Though both might go in the neighbors yard and frick up their garden.
You can raise them inside if your crazy enough. I know a crazy chicken lady who has a flock of them roaming her house wearing diapers, she also walks them like a pet too. I also knew a Mexican who had 300 hundreds roosters in his house, but he locked them up in mass in cages through out the house.
Raising a rabbit for their poop to fertilize a garden makes much more sense than for meat, where they're big enough for about one family dinner and they're too lean to survive off of.
Why? Sounds like it's poor roi. I can buy 2kg of chicken for 10 bucks
Can I kill it myself? Then yes
Nice setup.
Not in cages, if I had a garden or some shit like that yeah so they can run around be happy and produce the best meat they can.
Isn't it too much work for a small output?
the quality and taste? you could grow the grass for them in trays, thats it
Now this is fricking autism. A hydroponic rig so you can grow grass for your basement rabbits.
This , caring much about your rabbits , very based autism.
seems like a lot of work for not much return
its almost no work for avoiding the israelite
You just have to feed them. They're very easy to keep.
Guinea pigs for me, not indoors though
>outdoor guinea pigs
Hehehe

There is an anon sitting and plotting with his rabbit army...

they get to 2 kg in 6 months, rabbit pate is what you want
Wow 6 months for a dip
yes, thats a kg a month from this triple cage, just make more cages if you want to get fat
