Pygmy trying to breed my chickens!

[daniel-delarosa]

I have one pygmy goat, he is in the yard with the chickens. Never was a problem before, but now he is trying to breed my chickens. Is it cause he needs a mate? Would letting him breed make him leave my chickens alone? Could I have him and a female housed together full time?

I would get him another boy or wether friend ... He does not know he can not breed chickens ... Goats are herd animals so they always need a
friend !!!

Is he a buck or a wether?

If he's a buck and your only goat then I would wether (castrate) him.

Either way he really needs another herd animal for companionship.

He's a buck. I really don't want to castrate him just in case. Could I get a doe and keep them together full time? I know they will breed, but I can sell or give away the offspring.

If he is successful and you get a goat with feathers I want one!!!!!!!!

It is not a good idea to keep the buck with the doe during late pregnancy and if they are not separated after birth than he will breed her back too soon to be healthy for her. I suggest a wether friend for him.

Sorry poor chickens.

lol, I am sorry but the visual is cracking me up. It's definitely not an egg for the bra-bator. Seriously, get the poor fella a wether.
