Chickns and goats in the same pen

[hikerchick]

I buy chicken food, chick food, scratch, and goat food.



All the goats want to eat is chick food, so they muscle the chicks away from it. The will also get pushy for chicken food. Meanwhile, my hungry chicks and chickens are eating out of the goat food trough.

Is everyone going to suffer from malnutrition?

They all free range; but I am worried too about when winter comes.

Why dont you put the Chicken Food under something so that the hens can get it and the goats can't?

Or put it up high so the chickens can get it and the goats cant?
