We just went and checked on her... She ran straight to the milking stand and jumped right up lol We got about a cup from the one side.... Half of me wonders.... My friend is a little on the hair headed side and has 6-8 does all in with a buck. Goats are more of her husbands thing but he has...

I was afraid of that.... Then I guess I will just milk one side for now, until it's to much of a pain and let her totally dry up :( there's always next kidding season..

I had a friend call and say she needed me to take her doe. I have two others so I gladly excepted... She had twins in feb but is no longer with her. My friend contained to milk her well when I went to milk her only one side is filling up. It's not hot or hard, I tried to milk from the other side...

She is in confinement, she's been on laying mash for a while, sunflower seeds and cabbage as treats along with the rest, we have 25. She has been doing just fine, she's not eating or drinking. No free range, we still have 5 feet of snow so ok new grasses are anything. She hasn't had any bowel...

No not really... And she's normally not a friendly bird so I know something up... I will take a video, it's just weird!

I found one of my girls on her side this morning... She's still alive and breathing pretty fast. Her eyes keeping closing and she just lays there. I've brought her in the house, tried giving her water with acv.. Nothing. Her crop feels fine, she doesn't feel egg bound she also seems to be...

It's been happening for a while I just hadn't caught the "cracker" Well this morning she was the one that pushed the egg out of the box and broke it open, and had brunch...of course a few others joined it.. I've been missing 4-5 eggs a day. It's been really cold here so I thought they just...

I caught one of my hens chi wing down on an egg this morning! I'm so bummed cause she lays pretty green eggs! I'm not sure if I should wait it out and hope she stops or just make her dinner :-( I knew someone was eating them but I was really hopping that it was an older hen....

Is there any way you could bring her inside and give her some special one on one time? I had a hen that was kinda the same.... I turned an old dresser into a smaller coop for her... After about 2 weeks of her being in the dining room with all the crazyness of our house hold she chilled... Just...

We had a warm up with 28* lol The girls enjoyed being outside with some sunshine for a few... It didn't last long, started snowing again... Ugh... Come on spring!!!

I have 2 hens that do this all the time! They are the lowest on the pecking order... They found a way to beat the others! Lol

I check twice a day and have only had one, it was a duck egg. I think my hens kicked her out of her favorite box because I found it on the floor... But I hate pitching them that's why I asked

I wasn't sure if you could or if they taste funny..I've been pitching them.

What do you so with your frozen eggs?
