* Dietary needs: Rabbits are herbivores and need a diet of hay, fresh vegetables, and a small amount of pellets. Chickens are omnivores and need a diet of grains, seeds, and some insects.
* Behavioral differences: Rabbits are more delicate and easily stressed than chickens. Chickens are more active and can injure rabbits with their beaks and feet.
* Health risks: Rabbits and chickens can carry different diseases, and there's a risk of cross-contamination.
* Space requirements: Rabbits need plenty of space to run and hop, while chickens need space to roost and dust bathe.
Instead of keeping them together, you should provide separate, appropriate housing for each species. This ensures they have the proper space, diet, and environment to thrive.
