Hero is a very colorful, healthy, and sweet F1 Mini-Lamancha buckling born on 5/25/14. He has absolutely gorgeous colors and an even more impressive pedigree. He is doing great, growing very fast, and shows a lot of promise. We especially admire his extremely wide and correct rump and level...

Hi, It has been forever since I posted here, but Mittens needs your help! First, a little background. Mittens and his mom, Macie, showed up at our house about 3 1/2 months ago. At first, they were both very skittish and would take the food and run. With time, they both began to trust us. Now...

Hi everyone, I haven't been here in a while. I noticed yesterday that one of our ducks wouldn't eat her dinner. She was drinking a lot of water, then shaking her head and it all just fell back out of her mouth. I caught her and felt her crop, but I felt nothing abnormal. I kept her in a large...

Hi, everyone. As some of you may have seen, we found a puppy on the side of the road on 1/15. We have since located her owner, but only to find out she doesn't want her. She said we could keep her, or she would ind her a new home. She is 6 months old and an Argentine Dogo/Jagdterrier mix. So...

We found a very skinny puppy alone out in a field yesterday about 2 miles from our house. When we opened the door she jumped right in and we knew she would get shot by the owner of the cattle who are in the field if we didn't take her. We posted several lost signs around the area, posted on...

I have been wanting to add a new pup to our current pack of two for a while now, and I think I almost have my parents on board. I have always deeply admired border collies, and dreamed of rescuing a BC/ lab mix. However, I know there is no way I realistically have enough time to devote to a BC...

I went to a goat meeting yesterday, and the people's pure breed great pyrenees has a litter of puppies. All of the kids were oohing and awing over them of course. The owners are pretty much just giving them away to whoever wants one. They also had her raising them in a corner of a dirt-floor...

I wrote this for my English class, and I just wanted to share. It it is modeled after writing style used in The House on Mango Street book. So it's meant to have run-ons and fragments. Anyway, enough with grammar, I just wanted to share this for all the animal lovers. Woof woof woof! Huge...

Sabrina is a 10 pound six year old chihuahua mix. We made a lot of mistakes when we got her, the first being she was a petstore puppy ( not from a puppy mill though), and the second was that we didn't do much to socialize her during those key times. I was only in 4th grade then, and I guess my...

It reached 108F here is sunny California today. All the chickens but our 2 egg eating brown leghorns were in the hoop coop today. I refilled their waters several times today and offered them all cantaloupe rinds. I noticed one of our brown leghorns was much less active today, and was mostly just...

Our poor standard bronze turkey has had a swollen foot for a while. I posted before but didn't get much of a response. I have separated him from the rest of our birds (and the chicken wire), and his chest feathers are growing back because he is no longer rubbing them off. We upped his protein...

Hi everyone. Our broody hen hatched out 7 chicks out of 8 eggs today in a flower pot. I moved them all to a secure pen, and put down some pine shavings on the dirt. They all were doing fine, until a few minutes ago. I just went to check on them, and noticed one of the babies was gasping for air...

Sabrina is a 6 year old, 10 pound chihuahua mix. I used to give them both whole raw pig feet with occasional brushing, but have kind of slacked off. Sabina has a lot of tarter build up on her back teeth, and I can't find whole pig feet at any of the nearby stores. They are all split in half with...

Our lone standard bronze tom just turned one year old. Last November, he was well-feathered and really pretty. He looked like a good example of what a turkey should look like. However, 4 months later, he looks absolutely terrible. He has almost no feathers on his chest, his wing feathers are...

I paid for the pine shavings at the feed store, but they accidentally loaded cedar shavings instead. I really need to clean out the goat house today, but I don't know if cedar is safe for them or not. I have heard it causes respiratory problems for chickens, so I usually stick with pine. Any...

I have a 2 week old alpine, and a 3 week old nubian. Their moms were both vaccinated for CDT and given Bose before giving birth, and the kids were also vaccinated for CDT at a few days old. I am reading to give them one more booster. However, I have talked to a vet as well, who recommends we...

Here are some pics of Shasta and Heidi. Shata is two weeks, 3 days and Heidi is one week, 3 days. Heidi will be shown for either 4-H or FFA (depends on if me or my sister get her) and for some milk, as well as a family pet. Shasta will be a pet and maybe a pack goat. We will be getting another...

We got two goat kids today! They are so cute and doing pretty well. The doeling is 1 week old, and the little whether-to-be is 2 weeks old. I am reading to give 10-12 ounces of whole milk 3X a day. However, I was told by the breeder that we should be feeding them 20oz 3X a day. The lady at TSC...

*Update pg.3!* I am so excited! This is my first year doing FFA, and at first my parents were only going to let me get a meat chicken. Then, my dad, out of the blue, just told me I could get a dairy goat ! I really don't know when I will be getting the baby, or even who the leader is though...
