Growing rabbits eat about 3 pounds of feed for a pound of gain

You could consider just growing all tom turkeys as you can cut down on
feed costs because of the factor involving the feed conversion
factor. A
tom of up to eighteen pounds requires forty two pounds of feed.
(Appears to be from a school paper. Still, less than 2.5 pounds of feed
per pound of bird.)

It will take about 5 pounds of feed to age 6 weeks and 8-9 pounds to 8
weeks for the commercial strains.
(So about 14 pounds of feed to finish a 4 pound chicken -- again, about
three pounds of feed to pound of meat.)
