do chickens and fish mix

[ctemp]

I am a new member and don't have chickens yet, but am thinking about a stacked situation for both chicken and fish. I was thinking about putting a chix coup over a large fish tank (to both raise chicken and fish), to let the chickens poop fall through to the water. I had heard that is a good thing for the fish. does anyone have any experience with this type of thing?

i guess the second question would be does anyone know of an elevated chicken coop design and would a mesh floor work for the chickens?

thanks in advance.

Not that I know of.

I'd suggest you research the FAQ page, for starters.

I've heard people on here commenting about that type of floor hurting a chicken's feet.

you could put the fish tank under the roost and then it wouldn't hurt the chickens but then you would need to be sure to cover it.

Fish eat chicken poop?
