Please help try to create change in the way Rabbits are viewed-they are “pets” just like cats & dogs are for some people. If people are going to continue to eat them, at least they should be covered under the 1958 HUMANE SLAUGHTERS ACT like other “livestock”. All animals deserve to be treated with decency before they are killed.
Dictionary:
poultry
(pōl’trē) pronunciation
n.
Domestic fowls, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, or geese, raised for meat or eggs.
Poultry:
Columbia Encyclopedia: poultry,
domesticated fowl kept primarily for meat and eggs; including birds of the order Galliformes, e.g., the chicken, turkey, guinea fowl, pheasant, quail, and peacock; and natatorial (swimming) birds, e.g., the duck and goose. Several poultry birds, including the chicken and the goose, were domesticated over 3,000 years ago. The chief poultry bird is the chicken, which probably originated as a jungle fowl in SW Asia. Until recently, poultry were raised for domestic and commercial use on many farms in the United States. Large-scale producers now virtually monopolize the poultry industry. Specialized hatcheries deliver chicks fresh from the incubator to commercial growers, who mass-produce birds under precisely controlled conditions on diets scientifically calculated to produce rapid growth to market size, for delivery to processors. Many distinct chicken breeds, once appreciated for their particular combinations of characteristics, have been combined through selective breeding into a few relatively standard types that are notably efficient converters of feed into meat or eggs. The dominant meat chicken today is a cross between the fast-growing female White Plymouth Rock chicken, and the deep-breasted male Cornish chicken (see Cornish hen). The predominant egg type in the United States today is the White Leghorn chicken. Dual-purpose meat-and-egg breeds have all but disappeared. Turkeys have been similarly standardized. Because of their lower cost and lower fat content, chicken and turkey are increasingly popular protein sources with American consumers, rivaling pork and even beef in per capita consumption. A few breeds of chicken are raised chiefly for their ornamental appearance or as pets. These include the Polish varieties, characterized by their large showy crests; the fighting, or game, varieties, still bred where cockfighting is popular; and the Bantams, which are primarily miniature counterparts of standard breeds.

Custom made bantam coop. It is great design and can be made smaller or larger to fit many other animals and personal needs. Made with 1″ size poultry wiring. Has hinged front access door and top hinged house lid. For a front door latch, we have a screw drilled in thr front to pull open, with a rotating wood block to turn around door. Easy and cheaper. You can also make this model with a latch fit on the front door and lock for extra security.
They can easily be moved around the yard for grazing and can hold a banty pair of most breeds and trio of some. Great for ducklings that destroy pens and brooders, just put them out in these with some water to hop in and they’re good to go. Once chicks are big enough, they can go out in these too. Attach or add feed and water as you desire.
Also great plan for rabbits, cavies, guineas, a ferret or chinchilla (with added security and bordered bottom for digging), other small animals that are limited outside time and not allowed to roam such as small kittens, holding pen for cleaning cages, breeding pens, for other fowl such as cockatiels, budgies finches and lovebirds (with modification or wiring and safety precautions of course) and whatever else suitable for use and size.
Dimensions:
Cage 2ft tall, entire pen 4ft long
Actual wired cage space 34″ long
Front door 16″ wide, 12″ tall
House is 13″ long, 2ft wide
The house door is 8″ tall and 7″ wide
