Title: Rabbits with Chickens?
Post by: delboy on May 12, 2009, 10:43:03

Some old-timers - older even than me - say their parents used to keep rabbits with their chickens..

Is this feasible?

Do they get on OK?

We often have wild rabbits browsing in our chicken runs - they seem to ignore each other completely.

However, a few years ago when we had hens and a pet rabbit in a confined run the rabbit  was constantly trying to mount the hens - very amusing and tricky to explain to our 6 year old (what might have popped out of the egg :o).
