Here the goats explore the foliage around the chicken coop. We shut the coop up tight before letting in the herd in the evenings so they don't eat any chicken corn/grain- which could cause bloat. The green fields themselves could even cause bloat, so we decided grazing time would be limited to the evenings. This also helps the hens have the mornings for eating their feed in peace and plenty of morning and afternoon access to their nesting boxes in the coops.

Soon the goats and the chickens caught onto the routine! In the evenings the goats would wait by the fence to get let into the chicken field, and the chickens would wait so they could go explore the goat shed! They love scratching around the goat yard so the only thing I can figure is that they enjoy goat poop. Who would have guessed???
