    Predators for goats...

    I keep my goats and my chickens in the garage at night. We have bears, coyotes and foxes, as well as the ocasional panther in our yard at night and none of them are getting my feathered and hooved family members!

    Goats!!

    Quote: They're Nubian-Fainting goat crosses, but they don't faint. The lil' boy screams like he's being murdered when you try to move him a little, it's really funny, but I'm being very patient with them.

    Goats!!

    My new babies are here, unfortunately my camera is broken so I can't post pics, but they are adorable. One boy and one girl, the boy has blue eyes and the girl has a beautiful brunette coat so naturally I named them.....Francis Albert and Ava!! When my camera is working again, I'll post some pics.

    Questions about raising chicks in the warmer climates - please help!

    Tampa isn't that far away from me so I'll offer what I've done. Turn off the heat lamp during the day as it will get way too hot for the little ones. I learned a terrible lesson, losing 15 babies to the heat, because they couldn't handle it. The family here at BYC gave me some good advice...

    HELP!! She's Hooked!

    Last night my wife came to me shyly and said,"Honey???" I already knew it had something to do with spending, so I asked, "Now what did you buy?" She said, "I hope your not mad but I ordered some Silkies and Giant Cochins, I just can't help it, I love the babies!" So in a month we'll have some...

    My Cornish Rocks Are Dying

    Quote: I have a friend that claims he can do it, but I don't know if he can. I know I have a little time to decide, but I'm not sure if I can bring myself to do it.

    My Cornish Rocks Are Dying

    I just put them back in the coop, another thunderstorm is brewing, but before I did, they were misted twice and I turned on the sprinkler and they played in it. Also I'm restricting food until this evening. I'm trying everything that was suggested so far. Thankyou everyone!!

    Electrolyte Question

    Sorry for the barrage of questions lately, but one more, is Powerade diluted OK to give my chickens, until I can get to the feed store and buy some to put in their water?

    My Cornish Rocks Are Dying

    Sorry I didn't get back here sooner, but I was exhausted. They are 4 weeks old, and no runny stools or blood. They are in constant shade. I will try the feeding at night instead of during the day, I've also put a fan on them. Today they seem fine, but I'm watching them to make sure they will...
