Rabbit Hutch or Banty Run Build

[CapricornFarm]

I thought some folks might be interested in building a rabbit hutch or an area to grow young chickens, or even a run for a few banties or quail.
I will include lots of photos. I will attempt to include a materials list, though i am building this model with scraps i have from building other things aside from 4 , 2x4x8 boards. I have also made these from 2x4x10s. It will have a metal roof. I am going to attach legs once i move it to the shed where it will be for the winter.

Here is the bottom of the cage or hutch. The wire i am using is 1/2 x1, 30" wide, 8 + feet long.

I have added barn board pieces to the back.. Usually the painting gets done as i go along so all surfaces are covered, exposed or not. You can see i have 3 uprights in place, the fourth will be added once i attach the third piece of backing.

I turned the project onto the back side to attach the second part of the frame. Again it uses 2, 2x4x8 boards and scrap wood for the ends.

Turning the unit back onto the base, i attached and painted the back.

It is hard to see, but i put 1/2×1/2 hardware cloth on both ends.

Is this for one rabbit? Or multiple rabbits? It's a good size.

I'd guess....4 pens....3 does and 1 buck.
Or maybe 2 does, 1 buck, and a meat pen.
