    I need information on Llamas, Please?

    Most llamas enjoy being with other livestock - goats, sheep, horses, cattle. Some get along with some varieties and not others - we had one foster llama that hated sheep - but loves goats. You always want to introduce them through a fence, and then supervise them in a shared space, to make...

    I need information on Llamas, Please?

    If you had said that he had behaved any other way - that would have been a red flag! Llamas are aloof by nature. They will approach out of curiosity, but require "desensitization" to be touched and handled. If males are handled too much when they are young, it can result in something called...

    Money Making Livestock for a Hobby Farm

    We would suggest that whatever you choose, it is edible...so if you can't sell it - you can eat it instead of feed it That way no matter how much you lose, you won't starve. We started with Angoras...switched to Icelandic Sheep. Still have incredible fiber, but a broader market for lamb than...

    turkey question-help

    The eggs that remain in the nest are still viable? Mom hatched out five, and is still sitting on 5 others, three days later. I'm thinking of "disposing" of them...do you really think they could still hatch? How long would you wait? We are feeding mash to the little poults so they don't starve...

    We hatched on Sunday! (5 little BR poults) Hen is still sitting on 5 eggs that didn't though...I'll take them away at the end of the week...I'm feeding mash in the nest so no one expires between now and then...

    Kate! Kate to the Nigi help desk!

    I hope she will not be sterile as a result of this ordeal. Hopefully she will still be able to experience the joy of kidding with a nice buck her own size once she is well and healed. We had a little ewe last year that came as part of a flock purchase. She was bred too young, and resulted in a...

    Mineral blocks vs loose minerals

    Well, I use blocks, but I'll get the kind that's supposed to be for a herd of 30 for the same number of days-I'll be lucky if it lasts 3 weeks with my four. I'm always worried that they'll overdose. They love the blocks because of the molasses! The reason you hear "no blocks" might be...

    Any beekeepers who free-range poultry too?

    We just make sure the flight path is elevated out of the birds' reach...they are up on a table without enough room for the chickens to perch and wait...they can only get the ground dwellers that need to be put out of their misery...
