Has anyone co-housed goats with chickens?

[lindaleigh]

I am building a bigger coop and want to plan ahead for a couple of miniature goats. We are in Alaska, so warmth and accessibility are two big factors. Has anyone had success with chickens and goats in the same living quarters? What should I think about including in the design?

Hi and welcome top BYC from northern Michigan

I I have a friend that does and they all seem to get along well. I think it would depend on the goats.

Thanks. Did they design their own coop? Your friends, that is...

Greetings from Kansas, lindaleigh, and

! Great to have you aboard! I also know someone who raises then together (but they are housed separately). They get along great. Good luck to you and your plans!

Welcome to BYC! I have definitely seen numerous pictures of goats and chickens together. Somebody on here should have that answer! Good Luck!

Some of the chickens just moved in with the goats on their own, liked it better than her nice big coop. Predators have not bothered then in there yet.
