    New feeder training

    The goats will definitely use it to climb up but I'm hoping the shelter itself will be small enough that they won't want to be in it they can climb on it if they want shoot I might even make another ramp off the top of that so they could have a platform to sit on my goats sure love to climb

    New feeder training

    Right now they are separated but once they do have access to their little pond it will be on the part of the property that the goats have access to. Currently there are three shelters on the property and the goats don't always use them they tend to like to stay out unless it's raining. We are...

    New feeder training

    I figured since I had small breed goats with short muzzles I could also extend the pipe out a little bit and the Goose's neck would be long enough to get the food that I have available for them.

    New feeder training

    Mine are very good with the birds they let the chickens even sit on them and peck at them from time to time.

    New feeder training

    This is the type of feeder I want to put in right next to their Pond for swimming. My concern is not them eating the goat food but the goats eating the goose food.

    New feeder training

    Hello everybody and thank you for your time. We are adding geese to our farm and recently adopted two goslings. My question is. How hard is it to train the goose to eat out of a DIY goat proof feeder with a PVC wye? Once they have grown they will be sharing a very large fenced-in property with...

    Silkie?

    Probably so. I didn't get that information from her. So, follow-up question. Is there a way to tell the cockerels from the pullets without the tuft of hair besides just waiting for an egg or a crow? I believe all four of them to be cockerels but the two that look like the one pictured I'm unsure...

    Silkie?

    I recently rescued four "silkies" from a lady that could not care for them any more after raising them from biddies. They are 4-5 months. Two have head feathers like a silkie the other two like the one pictured. Is this a crossed bird? TIA

    Heat stroke rooster

    Update on our rooster. Unfortunately I do not have any good news. He passed mid day yesterday. After taking a round of electrolytes. He held his eyes open for a few moments. Let out a quiet crow and laid his head down. And that was it. Not the best way to end a holiday weekend. Thank you for...

    Heat stroke rooster

    Thank you for responding. Unfortunately He will not drink on his own at all we have to give him through a syringe at this point that's why I'm wondering how much of the electrolytes should I be giving him if he won't drink on his own?

    Heat stroke rooster

    Hello, I am hoping I can get some help with the recovery of my poor rooster. Yesterday we had heat indexes of a hundred degrees. Are guinea fowl had flown over the high fence and got to the chickens running him all around the yard until he fell over and started seizing when we noticed him. We...
