I thought I'd update with pics of our little girl...as you can see we decided to get the little boer girl! We picked her up a few hours ago, she's so cute! We named her Lucy since she's a redhead, thanks to the suggestion by chicmom on another thread!

Quote: You win chicmom! Hubby LOVED the name Lucy and she just looks like a Lucy to me. So that's what we are going with. We picked her up a few hours ago, she's so cute! I've been out sitting in the grass with her for the past two hours, before it was over with she was eating out of my...

Quote: That's what I was gonna say, I would burn my house down! LOL that's not funny. Have you tried any of the garden/house insect spray? I keep it around because we get flies in the house a lot, so I spray the flies. Might hold you over until Monday when an exterminator comes?

So far, loving Pippi and Lucy! Hubby will like Lucy! Or Love Lucy I guess I should say lol!

I'm getting a new baby tonight...a 3 month old boer doeling...I don't have a picture to post just yet but she's white with the red head. I'm trying to figure out a name for her, I have a few ideas but you guys always have the greatest ideas! Of course my DH will want to throw in his two cents...

Previous posters are 100% right, when it's dry, no problem. When it rains it smells terrible! If you only have 6 bantys I think you'll be just fine. My turkey is the one who makes everything stinky, lol.

Thank you so much, all useful information! And your goats are beautiful, too. Yoda is wethered already, I sure don't want a billy goat around lol! Well I'm still waiting on DH to make the final call...lil men.

Ahaha mine is the same way. I remember one time my DH said for some reason "Buffy would totally kill another chicken. Maybe even the turkey. Then she would probably cannibalize it." LOL...like I said, psychochicken!

Just sayin, my BO hen is a crazed lunatic. She acts like a rooster when there's no rooster around. DH calls her a psychochicken! I know they're not all like that, but in my coop too the BO hen causes a lot of drama. She gets insanely jealous when I pet the other birds. I try to correct her...

Luckily for us, my nearest neighbor is a cat hoarder, so we don't have a mice problem I guess every cloud has a silver lining!!

Hi y'all! I need some advice. Sunday is me and my hubby's first anniversary, and he's getting me a goat (LOL, I know, but it's what I wanted!) We had two pygmy wethers, both 6 months old, and one got killed two weeks ago after a stray dog got into their fence. Yoda my remaining goat has been...

When I used to work for a vet, we would always tell people if they clipped a toenail too short on a dog baby powder would work as well as quick-stop. Is it his actual toe that is gone, or just the claw/nail? I would try baby powder, unless someone thinks that's a bad idea for some reason...

I have a Standard Cochin rooster that doesn't crow. He CAN crow, I've heard him many times over his two years...but it's like he just doesn't enjoy it or something. He has a weird deep voice so I can tell when he does, but he might crow once every three months or so! Every morning I hear my...

Good idea! I've searched CL pretty thoroughly but I didn't think about posting a wanted ad...duh! Will do, thanks for the advice!

Hi everybody, this might just be a shot in the dark, but I wanted to try. I live in Rockwell NC, about 5 miles or so from Salisbury and about an hour from Charlotte. We need a baby goat asap...I only had two little pygmys as pets and two weeks ago we lost one due to a freak accident. We were...
