Raising rabbits in a colony??

[AmberLops]

Hey everyone!
I'm considering putting all of my Lionhead rabbits in a colony.
I have 4 does and a buck, all my does have lived together before and I recently separated them.
They're all very laid-back and I think I can make it work!
But I have no experience with colony-style rabbitries.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated

My biggest questions are...
Is it a good idea to keep a buck in with the does?
What should I use as a nest box for the does?
And when a doe kindles, is there anything special I need to do?
Will the other does and the buck leave her and her kits alone?

Thank you!!

@AmberLops I don't know if you've come to a decision, but I thought it was worth mentioning, there's this great YouTube channel Peebles Rabbit Colony that I think is great and maybe worth watching!

After talking to a few people around here who raise rabbits in colonies, I've decided not to go forward with the idea. People seem to have a lot of issues with rabbits fighting, diseases, parasites and so on...
But thanks again for the reply and i'll check out that youtube channel!
