Our plan is to have two Nubian goats and about 8 or 10 chickens. We have a section of barn that is 6x 20 for everyone. Goats and chickens will have access to a shared outside space of about 400 square feet.
My question is this. Can the goats and chickens cohabitate together when they are all in the barn at night or should I split up the 6x20 space and keep the two separate? Will the roosting chickens dump on the goats? Will they be at each other foot bins? Will the goats access to the nesting boxes cause the chickens not to lay? Etc etc.
Thanks.
