Can pigs, chickens and rabbits pass diseases to eachother?

I have a barn that my caged rabbits and chickens share. I had a chicken barn too, but the chickens liked hanging out in the rabbit barn because of the water cooler. I didn't see the point of two barns so I disposed of it. Anyways, I am getting a pig this weekend and I was planning on building it a pen on the back side of the barn. I have a chute under my rabbit cages that I wash the poop down out the side of the barn. There is a basket that catches the poop and the water falls through to the ground. I was thinking that I could put a gutter to catch the water and run it into the pig pen to keep the ground wet. Anything wrong with this?

Other than your pig digging your foundation and footings up no.
Any cracked concrete is not a challenge either and they dig deep - trust me I ended up with a mine shaft here once
