    Milking goats

    I am thinking of getting two goats for milking but am not 100% sure if it will be too much trouble or not? My game plan is to use a light chain (I assume they would eat through a rope or leather?) to keep them in place rather then a fence. That way I could move them around for grazing and they...

    Does anyone know what causes this?

    Looks like dew worms to me. Go out at night with a flashlight and you should see the worms on the ground half out of those holes. There will be tons of them if the ground is moist.

    2013 SEED/PLANT/GARDENING SWAP

    The only seeds I can think of that are on my "want list" is Wisteria, but I might be interested in any seed (tame or wild) that can not be easily found in Canada. I would also be interested in trading some of my seeds for fancy looking feathers (Peacock, Guinea fowl, ect) I enjoy fly tying so...

    bee keeping question

    Not sure if I understand 100%... only because it is late and I am tired. If I do understand, you had two hives that survived the winter. One of them swarmed so you caught the swarm and made a nuke. The hive that swarmed would have had the queen in the swarm, so when you put it in the nuke the...

Reason I ask is I would like to make an outdoor coop for my chickens (they are in the barn) but I know there is a fox around that has taken a couple of my ducks, so I have been putting off making a summer coop for them in fear the fox or...

    muscovy question

    Thank you all for your replies. Its funny, I have been keeping a close eye on them for a while now to see if they mate, but they never did so I started to wonder if the one I thought was a drake was really a drake. So just after I posted this question yesterday I was watching them out the window...

    muscovy question

    Just wondering if the red skin around the eyes and bill (not shure what its called) would be less in a male than a female? I have three muscovies, the biggest one has alot more of the red than the other two, I had thought it was a drake but after seeing pics on here I am not shure now
