Hi there! Just introducing myself. I'm a sahm, living on an acreage. We started two new hobbies this year, beekeeping (my husbands interest) and chicken keeping (my interest). We have now added 2 rabbits to the mix, with mixed feelings. (kids begged) Lol
I grew up raising meat chickens, slaughtering every fall. We are however interested in using ours for laying. We got 5 Columbian Rocks Red cross. We got them as chicks June 4 th, and are expecting eggs at the earliest mid October.
Is there any way of keeping the rabbits out of the chicken coop (raised about 2 feet off the ground), while still giving the chickens full access? The rabbits are taking over the nesting boxes, and are really just too messy in there for me. They have their own home in the coop, and don't need anything from the chicken coop.
Thanks! I look forward to joining in here from time to time!
