Description

This three-chapter guide breaks down why rabbits have quietly become the new favorite of small-scale farmers and backyard growers. You’ll learn how they outperform chickens in space, feed efficiency, cleanliness, and sustainability—while staying calm, quiet, and neighbor-friendly. Through clear comparisons and field-tested examples, it explains how a single breeding trio can produce more meat, less noise, and richer soil than most small flocks.

Chapter one makes the case for rabbits with their unmatched efficiency and gentle temperament.
Chapter two covers daily care, feeding, and yield with practical ratios and clean-cycle management.
Chapter three ties it all together—showing how rabbits and chickens can coexist for a balanced, regenerative homestead.

Whether you’re starting from a city lot or expanding a rural garden, this guide gives you a real-world plan for food security, soil health, and peace of mind.
