I am doing a major upgrade of my duck & chicken set up over the next three weeks.
When all is said & done I will have a reasonably sized prefab chicken coop left over (as well as a few hutches of various sizes).
I would like to convert the chicken coop into a rabbit hutch & let my Holland Lop spend her summers (at least) out there. She is in her outside play yard now & looks so content. The chicken coop would give her SO much room & I am confident she would do well with all the room to dig & play.
What is the best way to clean & sanitize the coop/hutch before I move her in? Should I also repaint to make sure that it is sealed again, or should I avoid painting again?
I know the coop stays dry & warm & I have made a lot of modifications to ensure the chickens safety. I am confident that Macy would be safe out there.
If I move her outside to the hutch should I also get her a neutered male to play with?
