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.
Is it better to boil or roast a chicken?

What type of chicken do they use for its meat?
Fryers & broilers are the smaller weights of chickens and roasters are the heavier weights. The birds used for commercial meat production are usually a hybrid created by crossing several different breeds. Most are white and contain at least a little bit of Cornish. My favorite to raise for my students poultry contest (we always had good scores in the state contest) was the "Hubbard White Mountains." They had a very fast rate of gain and good survivability.
