to me the rabbits are easier than chickens... not because I care more for the chickens... I LOVE my buns! but I've had a few bad experiences trying to OFF a few chickens... they refused to die! and even when they did they squawked and flapped like they weren't! :hit

The rabbits died much easier... either way it's a very hard task for me to do... and hubby refuses to be a part of my "farming" :rolleyes: hence why I still have 2 roosters running around that seriously NEED to go!!! I just can't work up the nerve to do it... even though I can't stand them! hahaha so I just toss them some food each day and give them a good swift kick each time they fluff their feathers up to have a go at me... but come spring I'll have no choice but to do the deed... I can't have the chickens getting into my garden (they freerange now) and I won't put those 2 evil roos in with my flock of gals and weenie silkie roo!

Congrats on the new bible! don't think I've heard of that type before? How does it differ from a traditional bible?

Its goes in the order in which the events happened. I already have an idea on how to kill the buns I have two options a baseball bat to the neck or (this is my preference) my Aunt's .22 pistol to their head. I want it to be quick. I am the only one who will eat rabbit.....but Im doing it anyway.

Bat or hammer to the head to stun them, and slit the throat real quick before they feel anything.

Could I tie them upside down alive then hammer, then slitting?

I wish I could help with some advice on "the deed". My technique ends with picking the #6 shot out of the meat as I'm rinsing the meat in the sink. :lol:

Now if you get the bunny running across the yard and you have a 20-gauge, that I can help with.....
