I just recently bought a new Hen and the place I got her from had Flemish Giant Rabbits in with the chickens. There were probably 20 rabbits in this giant barn/coop. One of his rabbits just had babies and now they are ready for new homes. I have ALWAYS wanted a rabbit so now my question is can I put it in with the chickens? I have 6 Hens right now trying to get rid of 1 of them. I already have a rabbit hutch that I had been using to keep new Hens in at nite. We have 1/2 an acre that has a 4 foot privacy fence around it that's where the chickens free range. I want to let the rabbit free range with them then go in the hutch inside the chicken run at night. Is this a bad idea? The rabbit has been around chickens so I know the noise won't bother her. Any advice? I want to get a rabbit this weekend if hubby gives the go ahead. He's already said I'm going to overwhelm myself with animals, in the next year I want to get 2 small goats and 1 pop belly pig. But whats 1 rabbit? They aren't to much work and I have always wanted one. My parents wouldn't allow anything but a dog when I was growing up even though I grew up in the sticks so now I'm finally able to have my mini farm
