Pot Plants.

4. About 50 years ago

we had a small herd of goats. Delightful animals but they can also be exasperating.

[mopinko]

12. My son had goats -- so smart and personable

But they kept getting out and annoying the neighbors.

[mopinko]

15. yeah, i'm already annoying enough.

roosters, big nosy, noisy dog, occasionally shrieking parrots.

[Farmer-Rick]

5. Wow, in all my years of raising chickens

I've never seen a goat rescue a chicken.

I had a dog rescue a chicken and of course roosters will attack most anything that they think are hurting their hens. But a goat???

6. It looks like the animals living in that pen are buddies.

[mopinko]

16. i know people keep donkeys for that reason.

have a friend who has a little guard donkey.

[Ilsa]

7. I'm impressed with that goat. nt

[Fla Dem]

8. Wow, what a wonderful goat. Appears the hen survived. She ran into the coop.

Bet her heart was sure beating. Hope the talons didn't injure her too much.

[NurseJackie]

9. Fascinating behavior...

... I wonder if the goat was consciously defending the chicken, or was he attracted to the noise and motion and interested in "playing" too?

[StarryNite]

11. That is amazing!

[MustLoveBeagles]

13. Brave goat and rooster

[Wahyee]

19. Hero and goat simultaneously. n/t

[Bayard]

20. Our goats and chickens are in separate pens

Mr. Bayard saw a hawk dive down and grab our little old man rooster, but he dropped it. The other roosters and hens just ran around squawking.

We do have one billy goat that will take on about anything. They can be territorial.

These two did a good job

[Duppers]

23. Speaking of taking on anything...

I've a fearless, crazy cat who, I'm sure, would even attempt something like this....

[Bayard]

25. Looks like a hungry cub

Is that a pic-a-nik basket he's taking off with?

[Blue Owl]

24. K&R, thanks for posting

I'm glad the chicken had friends nearby!
