Chicken run

[jennmoore]

So I have a pen that is enclosed where I have 2 flemish giant rabbits and right next to that I have a little shed I was going to convert to a coop and the chickens can have access to the pen with the rabbits. I've never had chickens before. Does that sound like a bad idea or does that sound ok.

Welcome to BYC!!!

You need to make sure it has adequate ventilation, light and space for the chickens. You also will have to raise the chickens with the rabbits or else they will fight.

You should also check out our coop area and learning center.

Will the chickens fight with the rabbits? I don't think the rabbits will fight them. They are used to dogs and cats
Thanks!!

Yes the chickens will fight and attack the rabbits. My chickens always attacked my guinea pigs.
