Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I had a few minutes so I am going to ask this question. Did anyone ever have their chickens in with rabbits?

my neighbor girl has had her rabbit in with the chickens for the last 5 years but she has a huge coop with a dirt floor...the rabbit has created tunnels so the chickens that are small lay their eggs in there...lol...so its like a treasure hunt for eggs each day....anyway she has had no illnesses or fights with the rabbit being in there....when I had 2 rabbits I had them in a enclosed area next to the coop but never did put them together cause at that time I had worries they might fight but I did have chickens jump over the fencing & hang out with the 2 rabbits, but mine were both does & the neighbor girls is a doe so maybe its the bucks that can be a bit aggressive with the chickens???? have no idea....anyway its something to think about but if it works for you & the chickens I see no reason not to try....Michele'

I'd be concerned about diseases, something that one animal could carry without showing and would be serious for the other.

Well, I wouldn't recommend it. I know of rabbits that have killed cats.
