    Had Cat in Coop, warning shot gone wrong, HELP!

    We once inherited a large dog, one of those we got from a friend of a friend of a friend that no longer could keep the dog. Not long after we got him, he tried to bite my husband, and that was the last time he tried to bite anyone. My husband shot him in front of our house. A short time...

    ATTN: American Pit Bull owners.

    One of those very, VERY tragic deaths by dog attack ocurred about 20 miles from where I live. ABSOLUTE tragedy, makes me SICK to think about it. It's the death of an 8 year old that happened in May 2008. What that piece of information does NOT tell you is that there were actually 4 dogs...

    Disbudding goat kids question....

    Okay, I have searched through and read every post I could find about disbudding here, and I have looked at dozens of instructional pages on the internet. I know it's best to have someone who knows how to do it to teach you, but we don't have that option, as no one around, including our vet, has...

    We are bottle feeding a baby Saanen we named Esther, and on her bottle of milk in the fridge I wrote with marker "Esther milk." Does his say "Chocolate milk"? Kim

    Why quail?

    We got them for meat and eggs, because we are trying to live a more self-sustainable lifestyle, but the bonus we have gotten out of raising coturnix quail is how much it is teaching our children (well, and us too) about life. Since we got our quail, chickens and goats I don't have to try to...

    I think my saanen is about to domino

    Okay, and just so everyone knows.....we fixed a nice, warm cozy bed full of fresh hay for her to have them in....and she picked the spot in the yard with the most dirt!!! Ha! And it really shows up on those new white coats....... I guess since it was her birthing, she's entitled to pick the...

    More integration advice needed.....

    They are making me crazy!!! We housed them side by side, then let them run together in the big yard, then moved the cochie girls in the big roost. They had been living together for over a week when the first injury occurred. The older girls hadn't been out with them for a while, and today I...

    More integration advice needed.....

    We got 2 cochins to add to our flock of Delawares and Australorps. We have our chicken house divided up into 2 sections, so when we started the integration process, we put the cochins in one side by themselves, then eventually put them in with the rest. The older chickens picked at them, but...

    My Pit Bull got into my brooder...

    HA! Ours would most likely eat the poop first, then start on the feed. Our neighbors have gotten a pit puppy, and she keeps coming over and eating chicken poop. Then I hear them call her home, and when she gets there they talk all sweet and pick her up and kiss her!!!!! When Pokey (my...

    Bottling up goat milk....(bottle cap question)

    Quote: That was actually what I was going to do to start with, and just try to fly in under the radar. I was gong to live by the "better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission" rule. My spouse is the one who decided to push the issue by bringing it up to an administrator. I mean, if...

    animal insults "are you chicken?"

    This reminded me of that T-shirt I used to see with a chicken and a cat. The cat was saying "Chicken" and the chicken was saying...........oh never mind!!! Ya'll will know the one I mean. But ya can't use that one for school anyhow. When a buddy of mine and I were in high school, we had...

    Bottling up goat milk....(bottle cap question)

    No, we can't take glass bottles in. Must be plastic. I found some plastic bottles and caps online today, but I am not sure how to put them on....whether or not you have to have some machine to get them on the bottle. Guess I'll call the company and ask on Monday. Yes, I thought I'd create my...

    Bottling up goat milk....(bottle cap question)

    This may sound like a goofy post, but I need to be able to put goat milk into bottles (like water bottle size) and make it look like it's factory sealed. Can you buy those tamper evident caps and put them on bottles with having to use some sort of capping machine? No, I am not trying to scam...
