I was not willing to risk my current lamb health, given that the mother died suddenly even though she was "perfectly healthy."
It was my own personal decision based upon my circumstances, I don't appreciate judgement. It wasn't my word that was bad, he failed to deliver on time and hid from me...
Just got my money back after quite a bit of arguement, as I was leaving the wife said "Your money is worth more that your word! Take that with you!"
No clue what that was supposed to mean, LOL.
I purchased two lambs from a private local farm, all very healthy and well taken care of.
I was scheduled to pick up the lambs Sunday, but he asked me to wait until today. When I called today, he wanted me to wait until Sunday because the mom had 'eaten too much grass' and got diahrrea from...
Turns out I'm allergic to alfalfa.
So when I go to feed my sheep, pigs and rabbits.... I end up with hives, sneezing, wheezing etc. I really want to find an alternative that I can grow here on the farm. I free range the sheep and pigs during the day, but I think I'll need something more for...
Welcome. :) I'm GF as well, although honestly my girls aren't on a pure GF diet... mostly you have to make the mix yourself and its almost always 3x as expensive. I let all of them free range (with my goats and pigs) in the pasture, and only supplement a little egglayer/scratch mix at night.
I have two unrelated female rabbits, they occasionally wrestle but they've never drawn blood. They're both under a year, not sure if that makes a difference.
Hah I'm sure she appreciates you posting that to the world. :P
I usually think things look like other things... but I can't think of any at the moment.
They get a mix of 75% egg crumble to 25% scratch. They go out when I get up for work typically 5 - 6 am. My mom thinks the could be laying outside, if so I haven't been able to find the hiding spot yet.
So now I'm only getting a couple eggs a week instead of two a day. Could it be I'm not giving them enough feed? They freerange during the day and I feed them seed at night. I've also been sure to let them out at dawn and they come in by themselves at night. Could they be sick? I'm not seeing...
