Introductions



How do I manage to fall so far behind?

It's hard to believe that it has been almost 3 weeks since the goats and chickens were introduced, and started coexisting in the barnyard. The first few days, until the goats' own indooor area was ready, we left the big cardboard "brooder" in the chicken coop with them all - with "doors" cut into the sides. The chicks had a slightly safe haven, although the goats immediately started trampling down one corner.

Now, they are housed separately - and during our workday are not together since the goats apparently love chicken feed. But, many evenings and weekends they get to hang out together in a common grazing/scratching area.
