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?

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

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

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'
