Try to keep the chickens from roosting on top of the rabbit cages to prevent chicken droppings from falling on the rabbits.
Agreed. If the chicken droppings contaminate the cage/feed containers/feed you may lose rabbits.

Love your set up. Rabbits in hanging cages and chickens (I prefer non-flyers like Silkies) are a great combo. :)

eta: unless you can keep the pea gravel contained in the isle ways, I'd keep the floor dirt or lay down straw. It will make for much easier cleaning.

Very impressive!

Chickens are great for clean-ups! And I agree with everyone who recommended making sure your chickens cannot roost on top of the rabbit cages.

The top of the rabbit cages are 7 feet off the ground and there is 5 feet between the rows, I have 6 cages 3 on each side of the shed. Can chickens fly 7 feet up in 5 feet of space? I will have to think about that when I'm deciding how to rearrange the cages.
