Hi all -
We are about to get some new chicks (already have 5 big girls) but it looks like the hatchery we buy from has younger chicks than what we had planned, which just means we'll have to keep them inside for a little while until they are coop ready. Let's say around 1 month.
I have a pet Holland Lop bunny, and although she has lots of 'stuff' (a massive cardboard castle, a big clear enclosure [that she can freely enter and exit], a hutch that locks for sleeping) she really has free range of my downstairs craft room.
I was wondering if it would be all right to keep our baby chicks (2-3) in some enclosure (not sure what yet, maybe a small dog kennel?) in the same craft room as my bunny for the time they must be inside. Does this pose any health concerns? Would the chicks be scared of her? Would she be scared of them? She is a pretty chill rabbit, but who knows.
I'd love your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you!
