how to keep my goats from eating chicken feed

I don't know if it will help you but maybe it will give you some ideas. Here's what we had to do to keep my Nigerian Dwarfs out of my chicken coop and thus, out of the chicken feed...

This is the outside ...

This is the inside...

By doing this the chickens can get in and out but the goats couldn't bend their backs to get under and then over the 2x4s.

Good luck. Your goat can get very sick if it eats to much chicken feed so get it stopped quickly.
This worked for us!
 
This is exactly what I have been looking for? What are the dimensions? What is this little structure called?
Thanks! Ashlee

We had an issue with our sheep doing the same thing. We leave the chicken feed inside the chicken run and I rigged some wire fencing on the run door so that the sheep can't get into the run but the chickens can crouch out through an opening at the bottom. It doesn't look pretty but it works and now my chickens can go into the run while they are free-ranging if they need to and the sheep can't eat their food.
