She has been eating and drinking OK but just looks lethargic and stays still with tail down in one area for some time, honestly she's a bantam silkie hen so I thought of putting a finger in but was afraid I would hurt her but will try tomorrow if you think it's OK I live in Ireland so it's 11pm...

Hi I have a silkie hen, firstly she hardly ever lays eggs but is only 2/3 years old last year after laying two eggs within a week she was really sick looking and I managed to bring her back, this year she laid maybe 3 eggs in total and now she seems very lethargic tail and wings down still...

Healthy enough to try and eat my kindle while I'm reading outside 😂😂

Ohh 10% in every feed I thought it was like get 10% of there body weight and only give them that amount in the entire day which seemed like nothing 😅 anyway they are now on 5-6 oz 4 times a day just since yesterday and seem to be happy on it, I suppose il just play the feeding amounts by ear and...

6oz not sure if they would even drink that much in one feed is it just me or does 1kg 800gram or 62oz in weight seem small for a nearly 2week old kid? Never had kid goats before and like I said these are my friends which I'm feeding to help her out so I'm learning as I go here, thank god I'm...

Asleep now

Thanks everybody I finally got through to a vet on one of the islands nearby and she is going to send me an electrolyte solution and antibiotic on the first plane tomorrow morning, the homemade electrolyte I made up really parked him up and he seem to have his appetite back and is more looking...

Thank you soo much!

Sadly I live on a small island off the coast of Ireland, no farm store no vet, so relying on home remedies since we actually can't even leave the island right now and go to the city because of covid travel restrictions

Hi I have a 1 week old goat (mother died) so the twins she had now have to be bottle babies the biggest is doing fine but the youngest has bad scour for two days now and isn't taking to the bottle at all. I gave an electrolyte solution and he just seem to start peeing it out straight after...
