Go with chickens; they are the most efficient producers of meat per pound of feed. They also produce high nitrate fertilizer for your garden (Not that rabbit droppings are bad).
Agreed. Go with chickens. They are more resourceful at scavenging for food. Plus you get regular egg protein till you eat your hens.
If I was living at my own place, I’d have both. Along with a whole slew of other things. But for now I’m living with family in a quiet suburban lot, so efficiency isn’t the only concern.
Chickens are better at converting feed, and we like eggs a lot, but they’re noisier than rabbits and would attract more attention. Rabbits I could claim I was raising them to sell as pets.
So far I haven’t gotten permission for either, so it’s a moot point.
