    How do YOU keep goats out of chicken feed?

    My goats have been eating some chicken feed for months now and they are still alive. I guess nobody told them not to eat it or they die. My chickens also eat goat feed and rabbit feed and they are still alive also. Things must just be different here.

    how long does it take for some pullets to lay

    If you got 9 eggs and only 3 older buffs they are laying. 3 buffs are not going to give you 9 eggs. I have a few RIR that are 23 weeks and 1 just started 2 eggs ago. None of the others have laid yet.

    Is This Molting?

    Molting is when the feather falls out of the quill (the part that holds the feather in the skin). It looks like a dog with mange. I have one molting now and she looks awful.

    Roo question....

    No it is not a curve in his neck. It is a lump the size of a golf ball. I didn't know if a roos crower was like a man's adams Apple.
