As social animals, goats require ample space for exercise and roaming, along with adequate shelter to protect them from harsh weather conditions, particularly during the colder season. They are unique and intelligent animals, who are relatively easy to keep, but they do best in pairs or herds.
Rearing chickens can be a rewarding experience when fresh, free-range eggs are on the table in the morning. However, maintaining a pest-free home for our feathered friends is an ongoing challenge for all of us. To create a healthy environment for chickens, we need to ensure that pests are kept out of the coop to provide the best space for your feathered friends to live. It can be a challenge to nurse chickens back to health after a pest invasion, so ensuring you know how to tackle pest problems before they occur can significantly help.
