As a new owner of both goats and hens...
Is it ok for me to let my chickens out of their coop to roam around in the goat pen? I mean, they are pecking around where goat feces is. (approx. 250 sq. feet for 2 dwarf goats and 6 chickens). Are there any parasites from the goats that could pose a threat to the hens and vice versa? Do any of you do the same- either house your chickens and goats together, or let them out to roam together in a smaller contained space once in a while?
