Is it possible/advisable to house rabbits & chickens in the same barn?

Awesome, secuono! Good idea with the fan, too. I talked with hubby last night about the new barn construction, and he had no objections about it...except that now with the attached rabbit runs it might not fit in the littler fenced critter yard >< So, more measuring today to try and figure out if we can make it work. I hope we can, I'm pretty much in love with this plan lol :lol:

My 1st set-up added onto works great for an outside rabbit/chicken area. The rabbits shelter is 5x26 with like 9 hanging cages. The entire area is about 12x40. The chickens kick up the rabbit manure and help it compost and keep odors down. They also, eat grubs and bugs, kicked out rabbit feed. This worked great!

At my new place I have a 13x25 foot shed that they are all in. This is working fantastically also. Plus, the chickens have an attached 40x50 fenced area to be in all day.
