Has anyone here let their chickens free range with a rabbit??????
At the moment I have my granddaughters rabbit Pumpkin staying with us. It was used to being in the house with central heating etc and getting fussed over by a 3yr old. Well they have moved house and everything is kind of crazy for them at the moment so Pumpkin is now staying with us. She may be here perminently and just getting visits from our granddaughter.
When Pumpkin came the weather was cold outside so we put her into the shed after a few days as she was getting cold. But it hardly seemed fare as she was used to more company. Everytime I went to get the hen feed there was a troop of chickens behind me visiting the strange ball of fluff in the shed? Pumkin didn't seem to be bothered and liked the company. The last few days the temperature here has gotten a bit better and so Pumpkin's cage and run are outside in the Chicken run! The girls are keeping her company and don't seem to be that bothered that she is there at all. However I don't want to open the rabbit run and let her out amoungst the chickens because I don't know if they go together well? Obviously they eat a little defferently etc but I don't want Jessicas rabbit getting pecked to death! I would like some advice on this and has anyone else got rabbits and chickens together?????? If pumpkin ends up here perminently she does need friends and SHE IS NOT COMMING IN THE HOUSE!!!!!! Dogs etc! And we have a very jealous cat in the house!
