Chillin' with the herd
I've heard of several people housing their chickens and goats in the same place - has anyone here done this with success? What do your chickens think about it? (I want to get 2 ND)
Hi Egg Newton. Would you mind sharing a picture of the special door you built to keep the goats out? I have 3 twelve week old ND wethers and can't keep them out!So frustrating!! They love chicken pellets. We tried building a box in the run door that we thought only the chickens could manuveur but the goats proved us wrong. So now we have cages around the hens' feeders with small portions cut out for the chickens to stick their heads thru but one of the boys figured out how to stick out his tongue and get a pellet at a time. Plus, the boys seem to love to go visit the girls so now I just take the chicken feed away during the hours they are together to ensure the boys are not getting feed. The girls are not a big fan of this solution.My goats and chickens share the same yard but have different sleeping quarters. Meaning the goats can't get into the chicken pen and eat the chicken food. We built a special door that keeps them out. A lot of people keep their goats and chickens together without a problem.
