Oh yes have had to reinforce fence several times. I used to have my goats separate from the chickens but I decided to move everybody to one spot so I wasn't going Here There and Everywhere to feed everybody every day but it has worked out better in the long run besides this one little issue
Thank you everyone! I kinda figured all this my goats are just a pain when it comes to feeding, they get goat pellets, hay and the occasional corn feeder filled when I get my hands on corn but they keep going for the chicken feed... I built a " feeding room" out of pallets and made a hole for...

I ended up not removing anything but it was from the center of the mass so it's quite confusing as to why it bled... I thought it was just hard droppings .. I had put him back in the water till it stopped bleeding, put some antifungal spray on it ( I hope that was not bad) and covered it with...
Well I soaked him again today and tried to pick some of it out and now it's bleeding really bad. I literally moved a chunk , saw blood and stopped! I'm so lost I don't know what to do! I got mineral oil today and gave him coconut oil chunks yesterday, non yet today... I just lost 10 chickens due...
