For some reason, my goats have decided to eat feathers from my Turkey. I have one Tom and one hen (turkey) recently the goats have started to pull feathers from the Tom. For now, I have separated the goats from the turkeys but can't do this long-term. Have any suggestions?

Welcome to BYC.
I have no experience with goats, but based on this behavior, I wonder if they are getting enough protein?

I would try providing a protein supplement for the goats. Maybe whey powder


And welcome to the forum.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I've heard that goats will eat anything but I think that's taking it a bit far.
