My chicken run is about 1600 sq. ft (40' x 40').
The primary fence is wire mesh that has 2" x 4" holes.
Yesterday I put a row of chicken wire around the bottom of the inside of the fence...so when I have little chicks, they can't just escape through the wire mesh.
This got me thinking about rabbits.
Would rabbits and chickens coexist in the same run o.k.?
I was thinking about just making a couple of ground level boxes with slanted roofs to keep the water off and getting a couple of rabbits.
Anyone have experience with rabbits and chickens sharing a run (fenced in outdoor area)?
Would the rabbits dig under the fence and escape? (which would be deadly, as my dog would get them).
