    Advice Needed from Boer Goat Owners Please!

    I thought I'd update with pics of our little girl...as you can see we decided to get the little boer girl! We picked her up a few hours ago, she's so cute! We named her Lucy since she's a redhead, thanks to the suggestion by chicmom on another thread!

    Quote: You win chicmom! Hubby LOVED the name Lucy and she just looks like a Lucy to me. So that's what we are going with. We picked her up a few hours ago, she's so cute! I've been out sitting in the grass with her for the past two hours, before it was over with she was eating out of my...

    Mites won't die, all over my house now - new question #55=grain mites?

    Quote: That's what I was gonna say, I would burn my house down! LOL that's not funny. Have you tried any of the garden/house insect spray? I keep it around because we get flies in the house a lot, so I spray the flies. Might hold you over until Monday when an exterminator comes?

    Just how "stinky" is stinky?

    Previous posters are 100% right, when it's dry, no problem. When it rains it smells terrible! If you only have 6 bantys I think you'll be just fine. My turkey is the one who makes everything stinky, lol.

    Defensive pullet; I've got your back hon?

    Ahaha mine is the same way. I remember one time my DH said for some reason "Buffy would totally kill another chicken. Maybe even the turkey. Then she would probably cannibalize it." LOL...like I said, psychochicken!

    Defensive pullet; I've got your back hon?

    Just sayin, my BO hen is a crazed lunatic. She acts like a rooster when there's no rooster around. DH calls her a psychochicken! I know they're not all like that, but in my coop too the BO hen causes a lot of drama. She gets insanely jealous when I pet the other birds. I try to correct her...

    Advice Needed from Boer Goat Owners Please!

    Hi y'all! I need some advice. Sunday is me and my hubby's first anniversary, and he's getting me a goat (LOL, I know, but it's what I wanted!) We had two pygmy wethers, both 6 months old, and one got killed two weeks ago after a stray dog got into their fence. Yoda my remaining goat has been...

    Chick got toe pecked off!!!

    When I used to work for a vet, we would always tell people if they clipped a toenail too short on a dog baby powder would work as well as quick-stop. Is it his actual toe that is gone, or just the claw/nail? I would try baby powder, unless someone thinks that's a bad idea for some reason...

    Absolutely silent rooster?

    I have a Standard Cochin rooster that doesn't crow. He CAN crow, I've heard him many times over his two years...but it's like he just doesn't enjoy it or something. He has a weird deep voice so I can tell when he does, but he might crow once every three months or so! Every morning I hear my...

    We just converted an old chicken house, that's about 4x8 foot and up on stilts, into a house for my guys. They love it, and it's actually a little too big for just the two little ones!

    Anyone have a Parrotlet?

    Hubby and I want a bird for inside. I've been looking at parrotlets. We need something that's not very noisy, and I'd LIKE to have something friendly that I can handle and love on. From what I've read, parrotlets would be a good fit. They also are not incredibly expensive which is important...

    I have pygmys. Given the choice they do prefer brush and leaves to grass. Perfect for us, but might not be for you. I will say though if nothing else is available they certainly do eat grass! They are a blast, I enjoy them so much.

    Help Goat Owners! Can a goat vomit?

    We are working on finding him a new buddy! We're waffling on rather or not to get another pygmy, or something larger. As far as the rabies deal...luckily Yoda had his rabies vaccine, so we should be OK there. Thank goodness, lol!
