    Goat mothering instinct

    I say no because in my herd we remove most of the babies as soon as they are born, but some of the does we allow to raise their own kids. I have a recorded grade nubian doe who I have raised since her birth. She was bottle raised in a pen with all of the other goat kids and when she first kidded...

    Should you let Bantam chickens free range with your big chickens?

    Introduce only adult bantams and do it slowly. Otherwise the bantams can get picked on and possibly killed by the bigger chickens as they are being put into the pecking order. Besides that they do very well free ranging.

    I bought my first baby goat 2 days ago and he's sick!

    Is cold were you are? I have owned goats for about 10 years now and I had a recorded grade nubian doe who every single winter has had a runny nose and sometimes runny eyes. Also she would cough and sneeze a lot, but when it warmed up she was fine.

    My Dog...

    I had the exact same problem. I tried to train my dogs to not eat the eggs, but it really hasn't worked for me. The only thing that I found that works is making sure your hens are laying in the coop and, if you are free range them, having the door big enough for the chickens to get in and out...

    Sick chicks?

    I agree with Outpost JWB, definitely treat them with the corid and keep them away from the rest of your flock. In my experience I have had the exact same problem and even when they look fine they seem to relapse with coccidiosis quickly if not treated with corid.

    Deciding on what breed to add

    I would definitely get a phoenix bantam chick and/or nankin bantam chick. The hens especially are super alert and will notify you of any danger.
