oh, so as a colony? (Have you been listening to TSP 😂)

I really wanted to do colony raising but decided against it for a few reasons.

Here's what we have working nicely right now:

cages hang in the chicken run inside the overhang of the coop (so they're all in shade). The droppings fall to the ground and I add wood shavings regularly (plan to replace that with charcoal soon). The chickens dig around in it and every week or so I half-fill a five gallon bucket of the mix to put around a tree or in a new planting.

We have two large containers of duckweed - for the chickens and for the BSF - that we've placed so they get just a bit of the manure for fertility. Also we sometimes add some of the rabbit droppings to the BSF bin and to our red wiggler bin (both also under the overhang of the chicken coop).

I'm planting a ton of rabbit fodder and chicken food inside the run so that we can feed them as much as possible from the immediate area. May also add fish soon, though I'm not yet sure how.

If you're planning on a colony set up I don't know if any of that is of interest! You're probably well aware but you'll have to protect fodder trees from free-ranging rabbits. One of our tractor rabbits escaped and neatly de-barked one of our new fodder willows.
