chickens in the same yard as the goats

[Indiana hens]

They only fight if you spoiled both of them and they both want your attention.

Yes, guilty!

I had goats and chickies together and never had a prob. The girls did not eat the goat poop. The only thing I worried about was getting stepped on during "goat exhuberance" but it never happened.

I have my chickens in with the goats too. And they are now sharing a space at night as well. I posted on a goat list I was on asking if others let their chickens sleep in with the goats at night and many did. In fact the predation of the chickens seems lessened somewhat by being with the goats.

I haven't had them get in the water....they drink it but not soil it. And they haven't gotten on the hay other than the bales I had for them to sleep on. I love having them together.
