A relatively new breed, the Lionheads are very...
Well I finally did it and put in my first batch of quail eggs. We have 50 Chicks running around in the barn, might just as well add some quail to the mix. We have more eggs than we know what to do with. I suppose I should turn out the light at night. I will post pictures if we have good...
Well for those of you who followed the Austrailian sheperd Double Merle thread, here is a picture of Dakota in her first snow. She is truly turning out to be a great dog! She trains easily and is a serious attention hound. We have to pay attention to her eye socket, but it is no trouble. Did...
For all that were following the double merle Australian Shepherd accident. Dakota is doing well and has her own web page. She has recently gotten a new cohort, a 4 month old Great Pyr. It is amazing to watch a Cheyenne and Dakota play. I will try to add pictures to the web site soon...

)Last night we got to watch the last lamb of the season be born. It was pretty cool. Different than a goat, but not to much. We had 3 ewes and a ram this year. We are quite pleased. Now if our last goat will drop we should be done until June. I will add a picture later this morning...
I just read the entire thread "stimulating baby goats" and didn't see an answer to my question.
I think I need to give one of our bottly babies an enema. I will use warm soapy water. But... what in the world to I give it to him with?
Funny question
Serious problem.

We just got back from a great trip to Georgia where we bought two mini-donkeys... one from Kate and Ben (aka Helmstead) and tomorrow we are hoping to pick up 3 more Jacobs!! Pictures when we get some daylight! Its not just chickens that are contagious!
Lets get a Chickenstock going before swap season starts. I see some Virginians are getting broody already and it would be great to meet everyone prior to going to swap meets. Just a thought...

I am on my way to pick up more goats and some rabbits. Can anyone tell me why when we started on BYC we had 8 chickens and two goats. Now look what has happened! Is there a 12 step program for people like me?
