So our chicken count is up to 36 right now. We have one large 8x10 coop that fits them all well, even in our harsh winter right now, when half stay inside most of the time. Our silkies count for half that 36, and they take up almost no space.
We have a spare coop with a covered run, we use it when we get meat birds.
These coops and runs all lead out to a 1/4 Acer fenced in forest, where they play and scavenge all day.
My husbend saw it fit to bring me home 2 Nigerian dwarf/Nubian baby goats.
Now, they are indoors in a pen for this winter period as they are only 2 and 3 weeks old and I have to bottle feed. We have had them for 3 days as of tonight.
He feels we can pit them in the "meat bird" coop and run, so they can run free in the 1/4 fenced in area with the chickens, once the weather shifts to Spring.
Anyone let their chickens run with cattle/horses or larger than chicken animals other than dogs? Anything I should be mind full of?
