Not only will you be reducing waste, but you will also be providing your animals with a nutritious and diversified diet. This, in turn, enhances their overall health and productivity, making them a valuable asset to any homesteader or urban farmer.

Getting Started

Before embarking on your journey to keeping poultry and rabbits on scraps, it's essential to ensure you have the necessary equipment and space to house them. For poultry, a chicken coop with ample ventilation and a secure outdoor run is a must. Rabbits require hutches with enough room to move around comfortably.

Next, you'll need to consider the breeds you want to raise. Chickens come in various sizes and lay different quantities of eggs, so choose a breed that suits your needs. For rabbits, decide between meat breeds or those primarily raised for fur. Additionally, make sure to provide each animal with suitable bedding and nesting areas.

Feeding poultry and rabbits on scraps is more successful when supplemented with commercial feed. These feeds are specially formulated to meet their nutritional needs. Including a mix of kitchen scraps and commercial feed creates a balanced and healthy diet for your animals.

What Scraps Can You Feed?

When it comes to feeding poultry and rabbits on scraps, the options are incredibly diverse. It's crucial to remember that not all food scraps are safe for animals and certain items should be avoided.

Safe scraps include:

• Fruit and vegetable peels
• Stale bread and pastries
• Leftover cooked rice and pasta
• Eggshells (crushed)
• Meat and fish scraps (cooked)

Avoid feeding:

• Dairy products
• Chocolate
• Onions and garlic
• Rhubarb leaves
• Citrus fruits
