Looking for some feedback and double check on plans to house 3-4 goats. Location is in the Northeast, will often see significant snow with 1-2ft on the ground most of the winter. Not sure if goats will be the same but the chickens rarely venture out during that period. There is a 16x8 section of barn available, would that be enough to house 3-4 goats happily? For a layout my plan was for 2 4x5 stalls on one side, leaving an 8x11 open area. Feed and water would be along one of the 11' sections, the exit/entrance would be on the other.

Here is a recent post that details their plans, it might help you. It is best to seal off the chicken coop from the goats, if you are going to be milking. You sure don't want "chicken dust" in your milk bucket.
