Question: my grow out cage/hutch for my rabbits is 4 foot x 6 ft, could I grow some meat chickens in that? If so, how many?

Usually, you want 4 square feet per bird at a minimum. Do they have a run too, or just the cage?

I was watching some YouTube videos on raising quail for meat and they seem really easy to feather, skin, and gut. Seen a dude do like 5 in 2 min and it looked easy. Gave them a quick rinse off and dropped them into a marinade to cook on the BBQ.

Have to worked with quail before Lilbityred?
