    My duckling broke the bone in his wing what do I do?

    Was it actually a bone or just the tip of a new feather growing in? They are hollow shafts that look like little pins.

    No, that’s not true. The mother is spotted, so was the boar. I promise you, these pigs have the bloodlines..we have done our homework, we have gone to several breeders to buy our herd. I have connections in AZ, helping m3 out with our business. Thank you very much for your concern, but, on...

    New to Goats

    Definitely you need to have it ventilated, windows would be great. The moisture from the wet hay, etc is not good for them to breathe. How big is it inside? Room enough for a kidding stall and then for another goat? My kidding stalks are 4’x8’..many others are 5’x7’. But you definitely need...

    New to Goats

    Yes, I think the chicken wire on the top of the fence would be fine, since it’s not your only barrier from predators. My fence is only 4’, cattle Panels, I’ve never had a goat jump it. Honestly, if the goats are happy and healthy they don’t usually want to flee each other. Hays needs to be...

    New to Goats

    I agree, chicken wire won’t last, also too flexible, even if you square it with wood. We use cattle panels. My one goat got her head stuck. We went out and put 2”x4” along all the posts where she could get stuck. Other than on the postings, we’ll never had an issue with horns...had 4 goats...

    Help! Rabbit testicular injury **gross picture**

    Keep up the silver...keep it very clean. I use nustock when an animal has a skin issue...perhaps if the testie falls off, a part of it, you could put that on to help aid in the healing. I would not count him out as a breeder!! The only way to really know , once he’s healthy, put him with a...

    Goat(s)??

    I have goats that are free range during the day now. Taught them by tethering one. Goats don’t leave each other. I definitely wouldn’t leave them tethered overnight, etc. but, one goat tethered during th3 day, worked for us. Yes, you definitely need more than one goat. They will be...

    My old itchy Saanen doe!

    I have bought nustick just last week for my goat with a tiny spot of missing hair. Also put it on a bunny that had lice. I was given this tip by a very, long goat owner. She’s my guru. It smells awful, and sticks to your hands. But it will help hair regrowth and help fix any skin...

    New to Goats

    Goats absolutely hate rain, will tolerate snow. That’s why I recommended a shed with all sides and a door. Write down everything..there are free printables on the internet for goat records. Write down shots, hoove trimming, any ‘off behavior’ buy Nutridrench...and the drench gun. It’s a...

    New to Goats

    Absolutely free minerals are a must!! A really good one is at TS..wind, storm rain? Think that’s the name...big red bag with cattle on the front. As for the goat shed...goats hate the rain. My goat shed is a regular shed with a door...I have it tethered to the fenc3 so they can go in and out...

    Need some advice on free ranging and predators

    What kind of chicks? I agree about the tractors. They can be easy to build or a pain the neck..depending on how big you go. If you keep them in the fence...add clutter. My hens love to make the clutter into nice cozy spaces and then they are more saf3 too. You definitely need a coop. That’s...
