    Disbudding goat kids question....

    Okay, I have searched through and read every post I could find about disbudding here, and I have looked at dozens of instructional pages on the internet. I know it's best to have someone who knows how to do it to teach you, but we don't have that option, as no one around, including our vet, has...

    More integration advice needed.....

    We got 2 cochins to add to our flock of Delawares and Australorps. We have our chicken house divided up into 2 sections, so when we started the integration process, we put the cochins in one side by themselves, then eventually put them in with the rest. The older chickens picked at them, but...

    Bottling up goat milk....(bottle cap question)

    This may sound like a goofy post, but I need to be able to put goat milk into bottles (like water bottle size) and make it look like it's factory sealed. Can you buy those tamper evident caps and put them on bottles with having to use some sort of capping machine? No, I am not trying to scam...

    Goat drench question...

    We're new to the goat thing, and you guys with first hand goat knowledge have been a big help to us. When Mary, our Saanen, was toxemic I read here and other sites about things to give her that would help, and I kept running across articles about "drenching." What we had to work with at the...

    We are putting together a new goat shed (for our new goats.) Mary, our lovely Saanen, has decided that the 1 X 4 boards are quite tasty. Anyone know a quick remedy to keep a goat from eating almost 60 bucks worth of lumber? I am sure there are commercial preparations, but just wondering if...

    Digging predator? Who is most likely suspect?

    While showing off the girls and roo to my husband's aunt and uncle yesterday, Uncle Sam noticed what appears to be digging on one side of the outside of our chook house. It's a very sturdy built chicken house constructed of tin but appears some predator fiend is trying to break in. I realize...

    We are looking to buy a dairy goat doe or two. Not set on any particular breed, but prefer full size rather than dwarf. Anyone here have one, or know a good place to get one? I have searched all day on the internet, most of what I find on websites is geared toward buyers who want show goats...

    Trapped....horror in the hen house !!!!! (hee, hee, hee)

    Earlier this evening Braden, my 8 year old son, and I went out to the chicken barn to tell our little girls (and one boy we think) good night. We sat down with them, and fed them a couple of pieces of stale biscuits. Pokey, my husband, came out after a bit to see what we were doing. He didn't...

    Chicken Politics

    Usually I shy away from political discussions of any kind, but I thought it was HILARIOUS when my hubby began reffering to the Democratic presidential nominee as "Barred Rock" Obama. Tried telling this humorous story to family and friends, and since they don't know a darn thing about chickens...
