Any Rabbit Breeders/Owners Here at BYC?

My dad would let them in the garage, but it feels like it would be so depressing for them in there. There’s no natural lighting and it’s cold in there. What do you think? Better than the muddy outside?

Well, I'm not sure. I agree with you that the garage probably would not be a great place for them. But that breed doesn't do great outside either.
Have you watched Lennon the Bunny? It's a really great youtube channel, and it focuses a lot on keeping your rabbits indoors. Maybe you could use that to get them inside?
If you absolutely can't convince your dad to bring them indoors, then maybe if you post some pictures of your current set up, we could come up with some ideas to make it a little better for them.

Do vehicles run in the garage? Because that's not good for them.

I agree. They could live outside if they have the correct setup. But it would so much better for them to be inside.
Btw, they're super cute, @Jenessa_096 !!

Well, my dad is alright with keeping them indoors but they still poop everywhere I think it’s because they are young and not fixed. Also, they chew the carpet...

No, but it’s colder than outside even

Thank you! For me it’s just way harder to keep them outside because the chickens eat their food and they eat the chicken food they get so dirty and wet.

You need to litter train them then. It's super easy. But it takes patience and time. And they will have accidents, its normal.

And as for the carpet...that's normal too. Is there a(some) room(s) in your home that doesn't have carpet?

They have a litter box and I’m still potty training them but they still mark their territory everywhere does that have anything to do with spaying or neutering them? Because we are planning to neuter the boy we’re not sure about the girl yet because it’s more expensive.

Rabbits should never be with chickens in my opinion.

Since the buck and doe stay together, that's normal for him to mark his territory.
I would normally tell you not to neuter him, but since they're living together, you kinda have to. Do not spay her if you are going to neuter him.
