    Lets talk about goats!

    Depending on how well bred the doe is for milk, 3 galloncould be feasible. Your best bet would be 4 x 16 ft hog panels with some t posts or round posts. Another option is any type of heavy woven wire fence, worth sturdy posts. 7 x 7 would be 49sq ft, so 24.5sq ft per goat. If that's their...

    Lets talk about goats!

    You would actually have to skim the milk to get it that skim. Nigerians have a pretty high butter fat, so you'd epithet need to get used to fill fast milk or buy a cream seperator. Goat milk doesn't seperate near as much as cow milk on it's own. How much space you need depends on the goat...

    Leg Problems in Multiple 4-6 week old Chicks

    I need some help from you guys! I have a pen of 4-6 week old chicks. Some I hatched, some I had shipped in. A few days ago one of the youngest CCL ( shipped)chicks started showing signs of leg weakness that progressed to walking on its hocks with wing assistance. Yesterday I had another CCL...

    Lets talk about goats!

    So, let's start from the beginning. It's always good to start by getting a fecal test done by your vet or mail them in to http://www.midamericaagresearch.net for $5 a sample. That way you know what you're dealing with. If you did that, great! Secondly, a turkey baster is an ok tool to...

    Goat question

    I'm confused, lol. How does this benefit the lady you traded with? Only in that she is keeping the younger goat? Also, Jenny is.....? If she's a goat, she still needs an overall diet of at least 14% protein, regardless of age/preggo/lactation status.

    Goat question

    So, here is my concern with her ration. It seems fairly low in protein, and also has an unbalanced calcium:phos ratio? Unless you happen to know the calcium content of your fodder? Your grass is probably around. . 10% protein? COB around 10% So unless your fodder is like 20% protein, type...

    Goat question

    More likely the "changes" you saw were just from the transport etc. Her udder isn't any bigger, and the lighting difference in the pics I think are making things look different. If you trimmed one hoof, you really need to trim them all IMO. It's kinda like putting a lift in one of your shoes...

    WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

    I honestly already thought the minimum value was $15. All the swaps I've done have been at least that much. My swap values are that much plus shipping. I like people offering gift cards sometimes. Who doesn't want money, lol.

    Lets talk about goats!

    Not always the case. Gums are a bad indicator as they are lots of different colors anyway. Lower eyelids are a better indicator. But. .. At any rate, lol, that only indicates anemia. Which has other causes as well, but you want to get a worm situation under control before the goat starts...

    Lets talk about goats!

    That's ok, it's good to ask questions!! You take a fresh sample of poop to the vet and they check it for worm eggs.
