Thanks for the advice. Momma seems to be doing better.....I know I panic but I hate to see anything happen to the animals that I can prevent. I went ahead and wormed her anyway.....just to be sure.
Over the last week my husband bought me a neubian nanny with two kids. We have encountered two problems. First the kids only drink from one side which means we have to milk out the other each evening. This is not really a problem for me since I enjoy the goats milk but I worry about the babies...

I'm checking the feed stores around here tomorrow to see if this has spread to the southwest.... I'll be in Mesa in the AM... maybe I should check the feed store there first.

It was hubby's idea to get a couple chickens! Ha he had no idea the monster he created when I fell in love with them. We are also concerned with the turn the country is taken for all the reasons I have already seen listed on here. So fresh eggs and eventually meat from them is just a bonus to...

This forum makes me feel so good! My husband keeps telling me I have a problem. I ordered 63 chicks from McMurry...bought 9 chicks before they arrived....and now I am trying to convince myself that I do not NEED to go to the feed store this weekend for chick days!!
The babies are awesome!! I am lucky I didnt get a speeding ticket on the way home. I couldnt wait to see them. They are so cute. All arrived helathy, happy and hungry!! Sheesh they eat alot!! Thanks for asking!
I am really sorry to hear about your bad experience. I recieved my shipment of chicks from McMurray yesterday and I wasnt expecting them to arrive until today. All chicks arrived well and happy. I would think the problem seems to be with the postal service.
Congrats....mine arrived today as well. Cant' wait to get home to see them....hubby picked them up from post office and set them up in the brooder!! I cant wait to see them!!
I wanna go home!!! I am trying to keep my mind off it by reading on here until the clock finally says it is quitting time!!!!!!! Sixty three new babies waiting at home!!
