Would mothers, daughters and grand daughters live in the same hutch happily?

I saw a site earlier today, and a breeder was going to breed one of her rabbits, and keep the baby Does in the hutch, then breed these and keep the grand-daughters in their too. The hutch was enourmous, but would the rabbits actually tolerate this? I've heard of mothers and daughters helping each other with litters, but I didn't think that so many females would be happy together. (All un-spayed) :?
 
There can be problems - an outside female may kill a litter.

That said, with my free ad litter, Mum & Aunt stayed together - only Mum fed them though:D (I didn't know which was mum initially so couldn't separate:shock::D)

I wouldn't keep unspayd does together at all personally - my Sugar & Spice were sisters & started fighting at 4mths
