Thanks for all the responses to my goat questions! I was told by a local farmer/goat owner that if I put my goats in with the chickens, the goats might die if they eat the chicken poop. I am nervous because of this. On another note-- we got the goats! We ended up with an Alpine and an Alpine-Saanen cross, both does and only 2 weeks old. Hello, bottle-feeding!! My chickens do not know what to make of them, as I have walked the goats around the outside of the coop so they could 'get acquainted'.
