well we got this bargain chicken coop with large underrun for some bantams but we're thinking of prehaps getting a pair of buns now
i've just measured it and the coop itself is just over 4 ft in length and 3 ft deep which comes to a grand total of 12 square ft the recommend size of 6x2 ft is also 12 square ft
so i know this isn't perfect( too short in length) and we hope to get a different accomadation in the future but they'll have access to the large under run at all times and we'll attach extra runs to that so that the set up will be massive it'll take up most of our small garden! what do you think?! they'll be fed on a small amount of pellets unlimited hay, water veg/herbs/forage/grass all introduced carefully ofcourse be vaccinated and hopefully neutered aswell. they'll be cared for well and have lots of stimulating things to play with like tunnels and willow balls.
surely the set up will do?! do you think buns would chew the wood badly because as it's a chicken coop it's got quite a few edges which in my eyes look perfect for bunny nibbling if so how can I deter them? the wood is pretty soft and easily damaged but it's sturdy and we'll put lino down, i'm not quite sure what kind of wood it is though :? the wood has been treated on the outside ( not sure what with though hopefully it's safe for buns) but not on the inside I think so we could treat that with something bunny safe
