Rabbits and Chickens??

[MadisonOde]

Hey all,
I read on here that some people keep their rabbits with chickens. Does this work well? Would it be better to just fence off a section of the coop for the rabbits? Our coop is about 6x8 with a 8x16 run, and we only have a few bantams in it.

After some more research, I’ve decided to just block off a section of the coop for two Holland lops. Any advice on how to do this? And how much space they need?

I have 11 chickens and 4 rabbits together, they do great with no problems.

How big of a space do you have them in?

Also, how do you keep the food separate.

My rabbits eat the scratch grain and layers pellets (not sure If they do eat these) with the chickens, they get rabbit pellets also but I hav never seen the chickens bother them and we don’t give them a lot at a time. Mostly hey, grass the kids pull up, hole corn at times, carrots, lettuce, watermelon whatever we give them

Hi rabbits should have at least an 8x4 although bigger is better. Also its really not good for rabbits to have grains or corn. Chickens can eat rabbit pellets, but rabbits should not eat chicken feed
