You are taking a big risk doing it, but I think it depends. My neighbors wouldn't mind at all. HOWEVER, my pesky HOA president has been finding every violation for anything in my neighborhood. (I just got sited for a care we don't drive not having a current tag!) So I would say, as of right now...
How big should it be for 25 chicks?
what's the minimum?
I would like to keep them in it until about 6-8weeks as it is VERY cold outside, especially at night. (15-20)
During the day like 40.
Oh I do agree about the chicken wire didn't notice it said chicken. So I agree in that aspect. You want to use 14 gauge wire, anything else will hurt your rabbits feet.
Your rabbit will spend most of its time in its hutch and will need space to move around, as well as space for feeding...
Our chicken run is mostly rocky dirt. (Some palm sized) Should I lay sod, sand, anything? Not sure what the protocol is for the run portion? I know they need dusts baths too?
That sounds about right. Sounds like you did great on your research! I personally am building a hutch with plastic or wood flooring and just adding a litter pan. They liter train easily! :)

I'm looking to buy 3 red sexed links chicks. However, all the hatcheries require a 25 min! Do I buy 25 and sell of the rest, or what? I'm so confused! I can't have 25 chicks lol. Thanks
It also sounds like other people are fighting this tooth and nail too. I think I may do it any way since the breed is a quiet non nuisance breed. And our yard is fenced, who would know right? Maybe talk to my neighbors as well. Thanks you all.
Ok, so I am starting a chicken coop and plan to keep 3 red star chickens. However, I live in Gwinnett county and from the research I've done and what I've read there is a lot of confusion. I was building the coop screened in off of my basement with the run within the screening too. I measured...
Hey,
I just came to BYC! I love the site so far and the forums are helping tremendously. I'm starting a backyard coop (3 chickens) in a "subdivision", however, I was raised with chickens cows etc; but any starter tips for helping start one of my own are very much appreciated. (as I probably...
