Our fryer rabbits are already 12 weeks old and ready to be processed. We are still new to this part of farming and find it emotionally challenging though it is something that must be dealt with in order to provide ethically raised healthy food for ourselves.
These two litters have grown very well, they are all just over 5lbs each with translates to about 2.5lbs dressed. Rabbit is a high protein, very low fat meat with a delicious mild flavor. It can be cooked as in most chicken recipes. I will post some recipes here as I discover them.

Our friend Tom is an apprenticed meatcutter. We are very fortunate to have his help on these days. If fact we have a few great friends who are willing to come out and help. The day goes by so much smoother with so many hands. Thank you.

Some of our chicks are now reaching fryer size as well, I think we may do the cockrels today along with a couple of old hens that are no longer laying. I just have to try to catch them!
