Chook Me!

Can I put 2 silkie chickens with the goats in their pen?

I have a cage for them right now because we just got them a month ago. We were going to build them a chicken coop but I was just wondering if maybe they could just go in the same pen with the goats. Today, I brought out the smaller chicken (female) and set her down on the ground. She wasn't afraid of the goats at all but the nigies seemed a little iffy about it. One made the hair on her back stand straight up. They seemed a little jumpy but they ran away as soon as the chicken flapped its wings. I don't want to put either of the animals in an uncomfortable situation and the goats do have horns....what do you think would happen?

1. I dont know about goats,but I have sheep.. they should still have a coop because if they lay eggs where the goats are the goats will step on them and that nasty... I have a coop for my chickens in the middle of my pasture, and let the chickens out with the sheep in the day.. this is what happens. http://www.picable.com/People/Babies/Half-Ways-Grown-Up.834249
