Loving the herd life
I built a feeder in the top corner of my horse stall and made a way for the chickens to get to it. Horses and goats neither can get to the chicken feed.
Getting first goat, not sure how to feed him/chickens?

Chicken feed will cause bloat if he has to much. Also, do not feed him hardly any grain, because male goats can get urinary calculi, in other words, kidney stones in his bladder, which will kill him. I feed my goats Bartlett goat feed. It really depends on the browse and hay how much he should eat. It will also change on the type of goat and his size. I recommend getting him a friend soon. He can wait a few months if you know for sure you are getting that doe.

That's good. btw my chicken don't eat the goats food because they know where theirs is, unless they are really hungry. The goat feed won't hurt your chickens. Chickens could eat pretty much anything, so I wouldn't worry about that. hicken feed can hurt goats though, so you need to make sure your goats don't get into it.KWAK said:

I use goat feed with powered minierals mixed in, and my free ranging birds eat it all the time and no problems.
