Can my rabbit Escape

[Freeloading slacker]

So we have a very large chicken coop and we're thinking about adding two rabbits to the bunch but we're worried about them escaping.We have a skirt going around the outside of the coop but will that be enough.

welcome to BYC
My rabbits has sinus problems when I raised them in the dust of the chicken coop.
Yours might stay in with a skirt around the inside. Remember they chew wood and might make a hole.

Well they're not going to share a coop just a run since the run is so big we're going to put a rabbit hatch in the Run.

I think rabbits and chickens catch diseases from each other?

I just looked up if chickens and rabbits can get diseases from each other and yes they can but as long as we're careful about it I think we should be fine.

I used to have a bunny. Boooyyy, she was a terror! Good luck with yours.

I have 11 chickens and 4 rabbits in the same coop and run. They do real well together. I have had no problems of anyone getting sick.

Did you decide what you are going to do? I added a second rabbit last week and this one does not escape either, though he is a bit more "resistant" to putting himself back in the run in the evening after free ranging and he takes some herding.
