Goats and chickens

[hegazi]

I have some new Nigerian Dwarfs almost a year old. The share a small barn/large coop with our chickens. They all get along and have enough space but the problem is keeping the goats out of the chicken feed. I have started putting the chicken food away at night when the goats are in there but they still try to get to it. Anyone have any suggestions or know of any feed that is safe to feed both of them? The goats do have their own feed but prefer the chicken's to their own. I also leave some hay in there for them at night but I'd like to have something on hand if needed and possible.

You could possibly try a different type of feeder. One with holes big enough for a chickens beak but not a goat's head. What type of feeder do you use?
