Goats and chickens together

[1stChickenEva]

My goats and chickens share an outdoor space door space. Should I be worried about the amount of goat poo that my chickens are scratching through?

No. Chickens have been scratching through animal poo for thousands of years, it is a good source of nutrition. Either from bits that pass through partially digested or the critters that live and breed in the poo.

Goats are highly unlikely to carry any diseases that affect fowl, different animal types. Some parasites like worms could be an issue but if your goats have them they are in your environment and the chickens will get them even if you keep them separated. Just treat if you need to.
