Hello I have my two sulcatas ages 3 and 2, and we were looking into getting 3 chickens for eggs. Can they both be in the same area or will I need to keep them a part?

Any help would be great thanks!

Because sulcatas eat grass and weeds, and because chickens poop wherever and whenever the spirit moves them, I wouldn't keep them on the same ground. They pass parasites that way. Also, chickens like to peck at shiny things, and sulcata eyes look peckable.

I keep mine separate. I don't want the chickens eating their food, popping everywhere or pecking the tortoises.
