Hi to all,
I am interested combining in a free range setup both rabbits and midget turkeys together in rotating paddocks, the turkeys might patrol for ticks and moving everybody would help to stay ahead of other parasitic life cycles. There would have to be deeply dug obstructions around the paddocks to keep the rabbits from escaping or predators from digging their way in. I also envision all sorts of berry and nut-bearing trees in the mix to provide fallen fruit and seeds for the turkeys but then would rabbit tunneling kill the root systems? Hawks concern me , perhaps using alot of branches stacked over the birds and bunnies as a sort of free-form protection might provide obstructive cover, and additionally provide dappled shade for everybody. Its a rough idea to be sure. I can see design features working to cross purposes in several areas here.
Any suggestions most helpful.
