Actually the cat is waiting to see if I will toss him any cracked eggs. He does that when we are milking the goats also, as I will give him milk when I am done. Likes a little eggs and milk with his meat (mice).
I have Bantam Cochin roosters and Frizzles for sale. They are blue or grey or molted. I got the eggs from Dipsy here on BYC and hatched them out, I got more roosters than I need hence the need to sell. I had 2 hatches, this is my oldest hatch.

Has anyone heard of CAE? Most big goat breeders will botlle raise their babies even if they are not orphaned to keep them from getting this. I bought my show kid and at that time didn't have any of my own kids to put her with, so she was in the house for awhile. Each person has their own reasons...
Potterwatch,
