Overrun with beasties
I have a mini donkey jenny, I don't trust her with the goats. She is a great companion for the horse and she does keep all other creatures out of the pasture. I have the goats in a separate pen that is surrounded on 3 sides by the horse/donkey pen and I think it helps having the donkey to keep boarder patrol. But the donkey gets really pushy and likes to chase things smaller than her. For that reason I will never put her in the same pen as the goats. She is a great guardian but only with a fence in between her and the goats and chickens. We did have the donkey first and so I don't know that she ever realized the goats are not her enemies. Maybe it is different if they are all raised together from a young age.
