I am about to expand from just chickens to chickens and rabbits. I have visited several rabbit Forums on the internet. Please! On most of those sites, I think if you asked what day of the week it is, you'd be hard-pressed to find more than two people who agreed. Now on byc everyone doesn't always agree but there's usually a consensus, well thought-out reasons, and understandable explanations for opinions. There must be some people on here that keep chickens AND rabbits so I thought I would try here.
I'll tell you what I'm going to do, and if you would, please tell me how badly I'm screwing up. First, I was given over 200 feet X 36 in ,1 inch X 1 inch hardware cloth, 14 gauge. I intend to make all wire cages, and use this wire on all sides (including floors) and dividers. The buck (when I get him-cages first, then rabbits) will be housed in a totally separate Hutch, so no through the wire breeding. My concern is rabbit feet. It seems the recommendation is 1/2 by 1 wire. Is using one by one on the floor going to give me major problems?
