    4H Goats?

    We are club members and I've sought mentors, but people don't seem very willing to mentor. As far as types of goats, my kids say dairy. Our club is ag, but is not goat specific.

    4H Goats?

    Hello! I am looking for someone who has experience with the 4H goat program. I have two boys who are interested in doing a goat project, but find that it is difficult to find anyone who actually wants to explain requirements to me. I need to know things like what makes a good goat v. a poor...

    Hi. We went to Rural King tonight and the chicks were very poorly labeled. I could identify some, but I'm not sure about these. Any help would be appreciated.

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    This is extremely helpful. I believe I have answers to these questions, but let me know if you see any problems: As far as poop, I have seen none in the nest. On the other hand, I wasn't going out of the way to check for it. I will look tonight. Chick-friendly set up: I have a chick...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Thank you. She stayed on the nest overnight. I have a few more questions (sorry!): 1. If I take the eggs that she has, will that cause her to leave the nest? 2. At what point do I give her eggs?

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Hi. I am new here. I wanted to see what everyone thinks about my hen. She is a golden comet. Last night, at bedtime, I was startled to find her nesting rather than roosting. This morning, she was still nesting. When I came home, she was up. She ate and then at bedtime returned to the nest. I...

    Bird ID

    Thank you. I've decided to put my camera into my car. I have an excellent zoom lens and it will be easier to try to pick up the details as far as shape, etc.

    Bird ID

    Hello. This is not a predator problem at the moment, but I am trying to identify a bird - hawk, I presume, that I have been seeing. I have only seen this bird in flight on my way home. In flight, the entire top of the bird is white. It definitely has the wing span of a hawk or other large...

    Composting Help

    If you pile stinks, it's too wet and rotting not decomposing. I haven't actually started a compost pile, so this is good to know. Can you free range your chickens? This gets a little sticky. I was free ranging them, but they got too comfortable and started wandering to the neighbor's garden...

    Coturnix Quail stopped laying

    Hello. I am new to quail this year. I purchased 8 females and 2 males. They were "between 7 and 8 weeks" when I picked them up and began laying steadily around 10 weeks. They are approximately 13 weeks old now. I noticed that one of my males was being picked at, so I separated them into two...

    Impacted Crop?

    Hi. I will have to try to take a pic when I get home. I don't think it is her crop. It softened last night and was empty by this morning, but she is very lethargic. I offered scrambled eggs, but she isn't eating and she is only drinking if I dip her beak. She is still in my bathroom, so she...
