I do this with chicken bones, too. I crack the long bones with pliers so the marrow becomes part of the stock, or, if cooked longer, the bone broth. The fat which rises when cooling the stock/broth is smoltz (clarified chicjen fat) & is THE best thing for frying eggs, etc. Thanks for your video!
I've been making rabbit broth, but I had no idea what to do with the bones afterwards. What a great idea to blend them up for the hens! I bet it helps give them a lot of calcium
I just got an instant pot, baby buns are coming 7 weeks old and going to do our 1st weight. And I can't wait for them to be ready and make some delicious rabbit broth. Thank you for sharing. Till next time God Bless.
LOVE THIS! I have been making rabbit bone broth for about a year and it is FABULOUS! I even went a step further and dehydrated some and made bouillon. My daughter was 100% against eating rabbit but loved the "turkey" gravy I made for Thanksgiving dinner. :)
My chickens love to go into the Bunny Barn. If I leave the gate open for even 2 minutes they are in there. Great Video. We just processed our first Rabbits and wanting to make as much use of them as we could. You have a lot of great ideas. Thanks. It sure was hard to do the deed. I was very humbled when I dispatched them. It's the hardest part of having Rabbits.
I feel ya on your bunnies. My rabbit Cupcake is an absolute brat. She bites me and is an absolute pain in the butt. My daughter’s rabbit Avia is so darn sweet. My girls are just over 3 months old so I hope Cupcake is just a turd cause she is young. Our buck Maxx is a very sweet boy and I’m thankful for that. Excited to learn rabbits bone broth from you.
Great video especially on the "personalities". It makes a huge difference in all aspects in all farm animals... When we harvest our rabbits we take the legs and the tenderloins and can them for us.. Boil the bones for bone broth and remove the meat for our dogs. I make rice in the broth to add to our dogs food. The chickens get the rest..
I tried chicken feet at a buffet once. To me, they tasted like they’d been walking around in chicken poop so I haven’t had them since. Glad to see there’s another use for them to limit waste. Great video!
Times are getting expensive and I've gone back to times too. Times are changing and we need to change with it as well Note ...rabbit ears & paws also make really good dehydrated dogs treats, We process all our rabbit ears/ paws into dog treats and sell on the side
Lovely video! Just want to support “the quality of life that our meat has” idea! 100% agree! Im in the medical field and the info i have of how the chicken meat stays white and the beef stays red in the supermarket fridge is 🤢 gross 🤮. Not to speak of the bread recycling accreditation that i recently learned about! People must go back to raising their own meat growing their own veggies and baking their own bread!
I LOVE my Instant Pot for bone broth! I never thought to roast the bones first... and we always composted the bones afterwards, what a smart idea to blend them for a healthy chicken treat!! Great tips, thanks for those! Always learning! Your channel and content continues to be my favorite source for solid information and a smiling face! Lovely videos 😊
and now i am hungry. Chicken: i heard chicken feet. are we getting peticures? FOOD!! i love the little happy chicken noises. BABY BUN BUN UPDATES YEAY!!!
I have rabbit bones in the freezer to try making rabbit bone broth! Thanks for the great video! Love love love the use of the bones at the end, I bet our chickens would love that too! ❤️
Beautiful golden congealed broth. I was the same way using a pressure cooker but got used to it which made it easier to pressure can foods in my pressure canner. I recently added to my pantry shelf bone-in rabbit that created a beautiful broth without adding water. I may dehydrate the broth when I drain each jar.
So glad you are sharing rabbit cooking videos! I like to add ashwaganda and stinging nettle to my bone broth for added adaptogens and minerals. I do the same thing you do with the bone slushy and give it as a food topper to my dogs. Great tip on bone roasting first. I have been deboning my rabbits so I am going to try it out!
Fabulous and informative video! We raise rabbits, chickens and goats and I’ve been making bone broth but I will be switching to your method and using those bones for the chickens. Thanks!!
Love this!! I have been wanting to figure out what to do with the rabbit bones. I didn't realize they would make a good broth! Thanks for this! You should definitely make some recipe/cooking videos!
Great content ! However How do we even know which rabbits are good to eat or breed ? Do you have a video on how to get started How to identify or need or maintain them ?
contact the local 4H or FFA to buy some rabbits. They will be happy to sell you rabbits and be able to answer all of your questions. I bought mine from the local High School which has an Agriculture class. Another source of info is the local Feed Store which usually has a Post-It Board where customers pin up for sale items.
I always add chicken feet to any of my bone stocks because I love the increased collagen 😊 meat Jell-O. The feet don't see to add a taste to me, especially if I am making a brown stock with roasted bones. (white stock is unroasted bones. White stock good for upset stomachs, and sick ppl to not overwhelm a stressed system but still give nutrients.)
My Daughter -in- law loves my fried rabbit..... But, she asked me to please say " Process", instead of butcher".... Lol I started calling it Processing too... 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I thought we could only make bone broth from raw bones so I've been tossing the cooked bones. I also just jumped on board with the IP for the same reason lol!
I fully support your wish to get back to the quality of life for our "meat". I am really interesting in sustanable agriculture. An animal raised in fresh air and sun with natural forage is much healthier than an animal raised in a very epensive enclosed barn standing on its own excreta. I do this because I love animals, but I also see the result in human health resulting from these unatural technicques.
Yes! I can’t wait for summer when I can put my rabbits back in their tractors to play in the grass during the day. Until then we have to wait out this wet winter so they don’t get coccidiosis 😊
This is one of the things I'm looking forward to most once we are able to start butchering! And I love my instant pot for bone broth. So easy! Great video. :) Just out of curiosity, do you use your quail for meat at all. If so, do you ever use quail feet for bone broth? I know they are so tiny, lol, and would have to use quite a few but just curious if that would work too.
We do use our quail for meat! But I haven’t attempted using their feet (I probably should!). I actually just made our first batch of quail bone broth the other day, but it didn’t gel and I wasn’t fond of the taste. Gonna have to keep experimenting with that one 😊
Can anyone tell me if rabbit feet might similarly help it gel up? I make bone stock from deer bones normally (I smash them to expose inside parts first, with a hatchet). Gells up amazingly, but I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with rabbit bones/parts...many thanks.
Great video! So based on the above instructions you would have to use the bone broth within 5 to 7 days? Has anyone canned this for long-term storage? Any input on that would be great.
It is good in the fridge for 5-7 days. If we don’t use it by then we freeze it 😊 you can definitely can it using a proper pressure canner but I don’t have experience with this (yet) 😊
I'm just now wanting to get into rabbits for my kiddos for 4H and for meat. So glad your making videos like this!!! I also am curious. When you cook and eat your rabbits do you notice a problem with alot of small bones getting into your meat? My mother in law said she has this problem and I'm curious if this is common, if she did something wrong, or if there's a way around this.
Rabbits for 4-H are so much fun 😊 rabbits have teeny tiny bones. It’s inevitable that I will miss at least one or two with the meals I make. The problem area for me is the rib cage. So yes, it’s common to miss a couple. Just gotta have an eagle eye! Lol
I've been watching your channel and feel like you're a good one to ask this question. Do you think, at 59, its a bit late to get into rabbits for show, meat, fur, etc. I started to get into rabbits more than 25 years ago and various life circumstances interrupted that endeavor. I'm interested in trying now but since I don't have all the experience you have, I'm unsure if its more than I might be up to. What are your thoughts?
....so I use the boiling of the bones, like before: you used to make the pot hot - then eat it - and since there was a lot in the pot - you let it cool down and made it hot again the next day and ate it. I call this interval cooking: the cooling ensures that what is stored and bound in the bones is released - these include minerals, trace elements and vitamins. If you do interval cooking - nothing big is visible at first - for example with poultry: fat eyes form on the top of the broth - nothing else when it is cold. After the second cooking interval you already have fat (!!!) on top of the broth that separates. and when you do the third interval cooking, it always has to be heated up and cooled down - you even have gelled stuff in the otherwise lean chicken broth - in addition to fat. It is different for each animal species, how and what is expressed - in what condition! Do you have fatty meat or meat with a lot of fat, like goat meat? The not so popular thing because people eat low fat here in Germany - although this fat contains valuable things - namely the minerals, trace elements and vitamins that are needed - the fat changes when cooking: it no longer has the same effect as fat - that is It sticks to the palate and is disgusting, but you can eat it normally! Then you immediately have fat on top of the cooled broth if the meat contains a lot of fat! You can cook goat meat in a jar, similar to canning: you can clearly see how the gelatin is deposited at the bottom and the fat at the top! The recipes are the same - whether you make goat sausage, smoke it or simply boil it down! People generally add fat to sausage: why should it be pork fat when you cook down rabbit meat? By cooking at intervals you get more fat: I never knew before that lean rabbits contained fat - and certainly not that much With interval cooking you get everything! You don't need a pressure cooker - a normal cooking pot is sufficient - but with a tight-fitting lid! just put it on: the pressure lifts the lid and allows moisture to pass through moderately. Kind regards from Berlin, Germany
So funny thing about bone broth, well any time I make broth of any kind, I get so nervous about straining the broth out because of all the horror stories of people unintentionally dumping their broth down the drain while straining it!! All the time and energy put into making it and one false move wastes it all!
The Chickens say EAT MORE RABBITS...LOL Thanks for the great video.
😂
😂
Iam happy some one is cooking real food like me i keep all bone from deer and goat and chicken and more
Cassia is trying to break free from the chains of enslavement
I do this with chicken bones, too. I crack the long bones with pliers so the marrow becomes part of the stock, or, if cooked longer, the bone broth.
The fat which rises when cooling the stock/broth is smoltz (clarified chicjen fat) & is THE best thing for frying eggs, etc.
Thanks for your video!
So so glad I found your channel; it's like you read my mind on all of the things that I have wondered how to do for so long. Thanks much!
My favorite video so far. I love seeing so many uses!
Love your closing statement very well said….
I've been making rabbit broth, but I had no idea what to do with the bones afterwards. What a great idea to blend them up for the hens! I bet it helps give them a lot of calcium
Not gross at all! My dogs love this sludge!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Great treat trick for the chickies - thanks!
Nice ! Love it !
I’ll bet the pups would love that “Rabbit Sludge,” too!
You could definitely give it to the dogs too! 😊
I just got an instant pot, baby buns are coming 7 weeks old and going to do our 1st weight. And I can't wait for them to be ready and make some delicious rabbit broth. Thank you for sharing. Till next time God Bless.
LOVE THIS! I have been making rabbit bone broth for about a year and it is FABULOUS! I even went a step further and dehydrated some and made bouillon. My daughter was 100% against eating rabbit but loved the "turkey" gravy I made for Thanksgiving dinner. :)
Dehydrating sounds like a wonderful idea. I hope to be able to do that in the future 😊
My chickens love to go into the Bunny Barn. If I leave the gate open for even 2 minutes they are in there. Great Video.

I personally have no desire to try chicken feet lol. BUT they are my dog's absolutely favorite treat!
I understand your attitude towards life very much, and I also like your lifestyle very much.
good job!
Love it! I learned alot ty!
Times are getting expensive and I've gone back to times too.

Raising our own animals allows a better life for the animals and better health for ourselves. It’s a win-win! 😊

Awesome!! I hope it goes well for you 😊 yes as disgusting as it looks my chickens LOVE it 😆
Great video! Thanks for the information!
wow im definitely doing this for the chickens!
Beautiful golden congealed broth. I was the same way using a pressure cooker but got used to it which made it easier to pressure can foods in my pressure canner. I recently added to my pantry shelf bone-in rabbit that created a beautiful broth without adding water. I may dehydrate the broth when I drain each jar.
That sounds delicious! It is on my list to get a good pressure canner this year and do that very same thing 😊
Awesome video...
I know what I'm doing next time I make rabbit. I use a lot of broth, so this will be fantastic!
I hope it goes really well for you 😊
Thank you for making this video!
Excellent video. I'll just starting out with Silver Fox meat rabbits, & will put this to use. Thanks!
idea! rabbit gelatin soup dumplings
Love this! Learning so much :-)
This is so helpful! Thanks for sharing! I always use my crock pot but I’m definitely gonna try the instant pot now.
Good video 🙌 😛
So glad you are sharing rabbit cooking videos! I like to add ashwaganda and stinging nettle to my bone broth for added adaptogens and minerals.

A dog topper is a great idea! I just have a really fussy German Shepherd and this isn’t good enough for her 🤣
Fabulous and informative video! We raise rabbits, chickens and goats and I’ve been making bone broth but I will be switching to your method and using those bones for the chickens. Thanks!!
Yay!! Good luck. Goats sound so much fun… some day I will have them 😊
Salt is life 😂🙌🏻
Not trying to be gross, but what do you do with all the rabbit heads?
Love this!! I have been wanting to figure out what to do with the rabbit bones. I didn't realize they would make a good broth! Thanks for this! You should definitely make some recipe/cooking videos!
Oh definitely… it’s on my list 😊
I will have to try this! I don't know why but my Instant Pot has always freaked me out. I'm always waiting for it explode or something.
Great content !

Have you ever crossed a crem with a silverfox?
I heard cortonix quail at beginning. lol heard again typing.
Me, too!
“Salt is Life” should be a shirt, 😂
How do you get them to stay calm when you pick them up? My siverfox rabbit's are very sweet until you pick them up .nails are soooo stressful
How long to cook in regular pressure cooker?
This is one of the things I'm looking forward to most once we are able to start butchering! And I love my instant pot for bone broth. So easy!

So, wouldn't you get a lot of other flavors in your broth, with the different seasonings you cook on your rabbit ??
I'm just now wanting to get into rabbits for my kiddos for 4H and for meat. So glad your making videos like this!!!
I also am curious. When you cook and eat your rabbits do you notice a problem with alot of small bones getting into your meat? My mother in law said she has this problem and I'm curious if this is common, if she did something wrong, or if there's a way around this.

I just had a weird thought. Could you possibly use the rabbit fat to make some kind of candles?
Rabbit fat is really soft, similar to chicken fat. There may be a way, but I’ve never tried it. Definitely let me know if you do!

Do you think, at 59, its a bit late to get into rabbits for show, meat, fur, etc. I started to get into rabbits more than 25 years ago and various life circumstances interrupted that endeavor.

I think 59 is a fine age to start raising rabbits! There is never a wrong time to learn about something new 😊

do rabbits make sounds?
Where do I get your recipes?
can you do it with caned rabbit ?
I am not sure! You would have to try it.
D’Argent is pronounced like: darjen. 😊
Ahh, Tiffany, that’s your name, I like it 🙂
Yep I know! I brought reference to the actual pronunciation in my video about why I chose silver fox and Creme d’Argent rabbits 😊
When I make chick stock like that I then use the meet for chicken soup. Then the beans go into the garbage.
Could you also feed that treat to quails?
Probably! I might go a step further and blend the oats into it. I can imagine that they will make a MESS 😆
I have a doe that turns into Satan too when pregnant 😂
🙏😋😎
Why 12 hr of boiling time????
put it translatable please... :) I'm french... but I love you ;) :)
You can use the auto-translate option on the video :)
