New bunny hutches

After we built bunny hutches several months ago, we realized they weren't quite right.  We had all of the girl bunnies together in one large hutch, which is not ideal when they're pregnant and after they give birth.  We also had a partial wood bottom, which isn't ideal as it requires a lot of work for sanitary reasons. 

This past week we've been building new wire cages for the bunnies that hang on the back of the chicken coop.  This also gives us another benefit.  Rabbits produce a lot of waste and if it just sits it creates ammonia.  Having the cages hanging up high allows the chickens to go in under them and mix up the waste while they look for worms, grubs, etc.  So the chickens are happy foraging, the rabbit waste gets mixed up naturally and we get some of the best compost available!  Win-win situation for all!

Here are the bunnies new home...
