Thanks for your help! By the time I got home that evening, he was completely back to normal, no temp, and hungry again. I did get his CDT vaccine in him this weekend too. I'm pretty sure he ate something in the yard he shouldn't have. New baby learning how to browse and all. Just for a lil...

Don't know his temp, I had to come in to work today, my son is at home. I am brand new to goats, my fiancé got them after I told him I wasn't prepared. (I'm the animal person, he isn't.) I do have a friend who is giving me some dewormer and coccistat for him after work. Ears and tail are...

I have two, 1 month old orphaned bottle baby goats, both boys. We banded them a week ago and they seemed to be doing fine. Now one of the babies has gone off his bottle. He chews cud (and I know its cud because he shook his head and flung some out.) But he wont touch the bottle since this...

I had an awesome dobie I lost 11 years ago (I taught him to "smile" on command too!) I keep saying one day I will get another. He was a GREAT dog and I miss him all the time.

So sorry! On Christmas day, my caretaker called to inform me that 12 of my show silkies had been killed by something. Turns out, it was a neighborhood dog who had chewed through a wooden door to get to them. Tore them to pieces. I cried harder than I have all year. Haven't been able to...

Yea, I noticed. Perhaps in the spring if we all survive the AI-pocolypse. (Sorry, bad taste.....TBH I'm scared to death of it....my birds and I live next to a lake.)

Any interest in an NPIP swap? :D (I recently became registered and miss swapping!)

Ditto everyone. If you have a dog kennel, you might try keeping her in it for a day or two inside the run so she can see the babies and get used to them being around. Like someone else said, if the babes are the majority, it should be easier.

I just found out today that the state of Virginia has certain requirements in order to ship poultry or eggs into the state. (I am in GA.) Was wondering if there are any other states out there that has special requirements? I got my NPIP last month, and want to do things right. The...

Neeeeeeed some Crevie eggs or I need to get rid of my boy. :( I need to get recent pics of him. Hes finally filling out and GOOD LOOKIN! (I really want to keep him, so someone sell me some hatching eggs! LOL!)

Quote: NICE birds! Great deal!

Does it affect shipping eggs? I"m assuming so......It IS good to be cautious.

Just a heads up. I don't have a good link, but just heard this from two facebook groups that this was just announced. I"m not in Indiana, but this might put a big damper on some swaps. :(

Yes, drainage plan was an afterthought.......one that I haven't quit kicking myself about. The sand has been a HUGE help, and we have since put in a french drain. But since it's also made of pallets, the water collects underneath the coop on the downhill side......which is nice in the 100%...

Oh I think your pen is lovely Blooie! I just have a love/hate relationship with rain. LOL! I love it, we need it, but we get too much sometimes! Haha! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a concrete floor. Sigh...... I had one once in a place I rented.....it was an old smoke house I used for the birds...
