What is used between a fryer chicken and a broiler chicken?
I'm still looking for a more definitive answer to this question myself....I *believe* that just as "Kentucky Fried Chicken" changed it's name to KFC a while ago because "fried" became a dirty word among the health-conscious consumers, the poultry industry probably wanted to appeal to these health-conscious folks as well. (I stand corrected on this hypothesis - Snopes points out that a hare-brained scheme by the Commonwealth of Kentucky to extract royalty payments for use of the word "Kentucky" by businesses prompted this change. Ya learn something new every day I guess. That said, I stand by my original reason for the poultry industry's name change!)As far as chickens go, a "broiler" (and I believe a fryer back in the days of frying chicken) is a young chicken (8 weeks on the outside) that is grown FAST and slaughtered young to produce a tender bird. These are typically "Cornish Cross" chickens - a hybrid created that would make a bird with a lot of breast meat and a fast growth habit.My short answer - there is NO difference between a broiler and a fryer. It's just a tender, young chicken that will be palatable with a fast cooking method.I checked with the USDA web site and here is what they say:"Broiler-fryer a young, tender chicken about 7 weeks old which weighs 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds when eviscerated. Cook by any method. "So - typical government answer - a non-answer.A poultry group I belong to says that fryers are 3 to 3-1/2 pounds, and broilers are 4 pounds. Not much of a difference, huh?A "Roaster" or (if you can find one) a "Stewing chicken" are considerably older - sometimes they will be retired laying hens. (though these probably find their way into soup and other processed foods.) These birds will be tastier and larger - but will require a longer, moist cooking method to be tender enough to be enjoyable.

Should raising meat rabbits in separate cagess and would like to put them in an on the ground pen 2 males and 2 females can it be done with out them killing each other?
I think I know what you are asking, You don't say how old your rabbits are. Are they fryers or roasters? Fryers are 10 to 12 weeks old. If they are from the same litter you can put them together until they are 3 - 4 months old but if they are fryers you will have butchered them by then. Roasters will fight, breed and could kill each other. Rabbits are very territorial, it is an instinct from the wild; survival of the fittest. If you are wanting to raise meat rabbits with these rabbits you are putting on the ground: number 1 you don't need 2 bucks, number 2 EVERY RABBIT NEEDS IT'S OWN CAGE. That goes for outside runs, too.
