Hello All,
It's been a long time since I have last logged on but I have a question that I thought you guys could give me some good advice on.
I have a fully enclosed habitat for 3 Russian tortoises, they each have their own space that is separated by a short wall that they can't climb over but that we could easily walk over. We have a human sized door to it so I am guessing it's about 9 feet tall and about 25+ feet long These are rough estimates but it's pretty close.
I am thinking of getting 1 egg laying chicken, I never had a chicken before so i'm starting small. I have ordered a coop with a small run but I was thinking of placing it inside the tort habitat so she would have more room to run during the day. She would also be safer because we do have raccoons and birds of prey, which is actually why my torts live in the mansion they do.
I have not purchased a chicken yet.
My question is, can they live together in harmony? Does anyone already have experience with this?
*Also the first 2 pics attached are from when it was first built about 2 years ago and then the 3rd and 4th pic were after we built their little beach houses last year (we have flooding here so this gives them a safe place to go).
