RE: Rabbit Soup

Wow, that's an honoring comment, thank you! Yes, it's still a little hard to harvest the animals. Sharing their entire life process is a special connection.

As for the taste, it is exactly like chicken. In fact, if you gave me a bite of chicken breast and a bite of rabbit meat that were both cooked the same, I doubt I'd be able to tell the difference. But in production, rabbits far outpace chickens. Commercial meat chickens are ready for harvest in as little as seven weeks (after they've been packed full of GMOs and kept in unhealthy conditions). Rabbits take a little longer, at twelve weeks harvesting age, but they produce more meat per volume of food they eat. And, that food can be supplemented with most green leafy plants around your home/parks/living area. Also, those chickens that product in eight weeks are usually a breed that you can't breed at the house yourself. It takes a specialized hybrid of chickens that only a few (very wealthy) companies have access to. Rabbits can be grown by anyone easily. So I do consider them a better option for meat than chickens.

For eggs on the other hand, chickens are far better. Rabbit eggs just aren't the same.
