    Can rabbits and birds be kept toghther?

    some have done it with mixed results. it would be best to have the rabbits in their own area. chickens can be pretty aggressive and little bunny eyes can be a delicacy. i would be worried about bunnies eating chicken feed and getting sick. also rabbits can be fairly aggressive with each other...

    URGENT! Chicken layer feed has "dead animal bodies" in it?

    Constant egg-eating

    you can buy oyster shell at the feedstore, it is a calcium supplement. sometimes they learn to do it and it becomes a bad habit. you can cull or use a rollaway nest. some people have found ways to try and 'teach' them not to do it.
