i have a yard that is fencened in good and its in two halves and when i let them in the other half one heads over to our barn door.which was open.well 30 minutes later i go to do the chickens and my horse is sitting there eating scratch/layer5 mix...i got her out and locked it up....well the other day they got out....we got them put up and then i went to feed the chickens and 3/4s of the mix was gone.we bought 2 bags of food for chickens the day before and 3/4s or more are gone?the horse ate all of that by herself!!!!!!!!!!!!!how do i stop her from eatting it?

Horses love corn- the only way to stop this is either to feed your chickens indoors or fence the horse out...

we rarely let the horses out but she stills goes over there even when door is shut.

Be careful. Horses can founder by getting into feed like that.

Worse yet is when the chooks pick thru the poop for any corn.

Kind of like getting two bangs for your feed buck?

I feed my chooks inside of their coop always. Only treats are done outside and they usually disappear in 60 seconds. Hey, that could be a title for a chook movie. "Gone in 60 Seconds!"
