My layers get very little food in the summer when theres bugs to eat, but half the year they're just eating feed and scraps.
I do lots of broilers every year and plucking them by hand is a major asspain compared to a rabbit.
If you want to eat chicken meat like you’re used to, you need broilers, which you cant reproduce on your own, and you cant keep them around for eggs. Regular breeds will taste completely different and have a way different texture than you expect, although i personally prefer it. Old hens make great soup too. Unless you hate eggs, definitely get at least a few chickens, they’re the coolest.
The only reason ducks havent been exterminated is because their meat is nice. The fat from them is amazing, although personally I can’t get used to their grassy tasting eggs. They are truly the dumbest fucking creatures to exist, I hate raising them, I constantly long for the day I get to slaughter them. They’re cute for about 5 days, but after that I can’t fucking stand these worthless shitbrains. They’re also the worst animal on earth to process, as they have a nearly infinite supply of fuzzly little shitfeathers, and they're damn near waterproof, so scalding is difficult. By the way, anyone who tells you to just skin poultry of any kind is a wasteful retard, do not listen to them.
Geese on the other hand are cool, smart creatures I enjoy having around. Unlike the worthless faggot that is the duck, geese walk around grazing on grass, and you barely ever have to feed them at all. Nice red meat, almost like beef/venison, although you have to do some convincing to stuff them full of corn if you want them to have any fat on them. Can be a bit aggressive, but if you’re a little pussy who’s scared of a 10lb bird, they’re showing you as much respect as you deserve
