Rabbits and Chickens

[Jaryn]

I have 2 Golden Comets and 3 Buff Orps. They are 2 months old and live in a 12 by 4 coop. Their run is 16 by 4. I would love to add a rabbit or two and I've always wanted a flemish giant!! Has anyone had giant rabbits with chickens? The rabbit would be mostly kept in the run and have a seperate hutch in the run, however I'm worried about a rabbit that size being able to kill my chickens. My chickens are not scared of my small and medium sized dogs so i know they'll be comfortable around rabbits. Just not sure about vice versa.

I'd be more worried about the chickens attacking the rabbit. It would be better to keep the rabbit confimed from the birds.

I concur. I breed rabbits and chickens. the chickens can and may kill the rabbit. Even a Flemish giant. I would chicken wire mesh a fence to protect the rabbit.
