* Hi there, AC. Been reading and I have a suggestion. In your climate, I think I would go with a small well- insulated shed space and design it to house chickens on one side AND RABBITS on the other-- and I would probly go with SIX OF EACH. Adding rabbits to the shed gives you HEAT HELP for the chickens PLUS eggs and 2 meat sources-- and a unbeatable fertilizer combo!!!!
(ED: I might do a lattice wall & door between them just to keep the chickens from roosting on the rabbit hutches.)
