In this coop I'm trying out mixing rabbits with chickens. Basically what I have tried and with a degree of luck I say is a time sharing system. Both rabbits come out at night while chicks are roosting up above. In the morning rabbits go back inside the hutch and the chickens are free to run about. Rabbits are messy, they don't use dropping boards, about the only thing I do not care for so far.

Started putting up the run but got the flu. Sick for over two weeks. Early December now, super cold now. Run will have to wait.... Run is supposed to be if I can remember correctly something like 20x30 I think. Whatever it is is its big enough to house up to 24 chicks comfortably.

Chicken door and ramp. PVC waterer with poultry nipples for outside in the future run. Windows prop open, covered with hardware cloth. Some sand is put down already that I got for free off of Craigslist. Battery operated motion sensored light to help scare of potential predators.
