    Good goat page and/or forum

    Hi! We are new to chickens, but we are new to goats as well. Does anyone know a good goat site or forum that I could use? I have a lot of questions to ask about them too.

    funky combs with pics

    We've got 2 roos with spots on thier combs. It's like they are turning black from the tips. If it is frostbite can I do somthing about it or just wait. We have a heat lamp in the coop and they sit right under it. Could it be some fungus or something?

    One eye doesn't open

    Our chicks hatched on Christmas. It was much fun. The last one to hatch is a bit smaller than the others and one eye doesn't open. Any thoughts on this? Do you think washing it might help, maybe it's just stuck. I'm sure this will be a great disadvantage in the flock.
