I'm gonna have to dig into this topic some more and then run it by my BIL, he raised rabbits growing up, and their meat is supposed to be pretty good, that and the aforementioned quick breeding cycles...if this solves the feed issue then chicken and rabbits seem the best SHTF meat supply (and egg!) solution. And I don't know about rabbits, but isn't some measure of disease prevention required for either? Maybe we've had this discussion before...getting a deja vu vibe. Anyway, good thread, one I'll be referencing often I suspect!
