Dr. Octagon posted:Since people have mentioned goats... has anyone kept both hens and goats? The neighboring farm through the woods has about 40 dairy goats and a nice-sized chevre operation. They get rid of most the male kids every spring. We were thinking of taking a few in this past spring, but we have an actual kid on the way, so we'll probably wait a year or two. If space within the coop isn't an issue and we have them cordoned off from each other, would chickens and goats be alright sleeping in the same structure? They don't sleep in the same house but we have the chicken pen adjacent to the goat pen and they pretty much ignore each other. Even the couple of times we've let them both graze outside of their pens it was like they were invisible to each other. I don't know about sleeping together but in day to day life there has been zero problems. The goats are Nigerian Dwarves and the only male is neutered so you may get different results with different breeds and/or intact males.
