Reading some of the posts brought a question to mind. The chickens are new to me. I have had horses for years and the largest predator we have in the area are coyotes, which are not a problem with a mature stallion and my broodmares. Pretty daunting. We also have goats and one donkey, who are stalled at night, but out during the day. (My birds will be confined in a secure stall at night) My question is, will the donkey probably be protection for the chickens diring the day? They will not have access to any space outside the goat pen and the barn, and we have never had a problerm, but we've never had chickens before, either. I'd appreciate some feedback.
