    We sent them a letter asking for them to reason with us as we are moving to TN and we have a closing date of 11/15. That has been moved up to 11/1, but I haven't told them that. I have not heard from them yet, and the 12th is getting closer. My husband uses them for therapy animals as well for...

    Shaftsburg is near Perry - close to I69 and M52. Not far from Lansing or Flint. We have sent them a letter asking them to work with us, but have not heard anything back yet. The breeders that we got all of them from had tested for Cl/CAE/Johnes but we had not yet had them tested ourselves. We...

    Help with sale of goats!!

    I am sorry - I thought that was in the listing. They are all Nigerian Dwarf. I have not done the testing on them, however all the breeders that I got them from had done testing on their herds. We were planning on having the testing done the first of the year on our whole herd, but due to recent...

    I wish you could too!!! One of our unregistered does are from the same lines and tattooed, but the breeder we got her from did not register her due to a spur teat. But they really expect her to shine if she was ever to be bred. If we have any interested parties in all/most of the herd, we may...

    Register Nigerian Dwarf NOA with ADGA.

    Welll I got the answer to registering NOA with ADGA... they will not accept it for Nigerian Dwarf Goats. So unfortunately these beauties can not be registered. So I am a bit peeved at the person we got them from because she said tehy were registerable. Guess that is what we get for being new to...

    Register Nigerian Dwarf NOA with ADGA.

    We acquired two nigerian dwarf goats from a person who got bottle babies but could not handle taking care of them anymore. Bottle babies just are not for everyone!! They take a lot of work, but the rewards have been so worth it. These two girls were born in February but were not registered. I...

    Nigerian Dwarf - pregnant or miscarry??

    We are new to goats, and happen to get 3 bred goats. One of them had some bleeding about a month ago and we thought that she may have miscarried. Hubby said when he was out feeding her grain this afternoon he felt her udder and squeezed a teat and some milky substance came out. IF she is...

    WOW! One of our birds is definitely a keeper!! This egg weighs in at 3.2oz or 93 grams! Average size egg for Isa Browns - one of the brown egg layer leaders - is only 62.8. Do they have JUMBO jumbo egg cartons anywhere?? We can't get this one to fit in any of ours!

    Today is somewhat a sad day in our household. Our main rooster decided today was the day he wanted to leave his flock! We got him when he was 8 months old, and while he was not really aggressive, he had his moments. He would buck up on my husband and our daughter a few times. He never really...

    She isn't necessarily #1 in the flock.. but she isn't at the low end either... they seem to let her be when she is in a nesting box, but we are not letting her sit any eggs right now either. We may just end up having to let her do it and see what the hatch rate does end up being. thanks for...

    We have what seems like a broody hen. We have never had hens hatch any eggs, we have put them in an incubator and done it ourselves. We are thinking of trying it out and see how it goes when the weather gets warmer (come on spring!!!!!!). My question for the day... we have a double row of...

    So my husband and I finally ventured out and added some goats to our chickens. We have also decided that we are going to be going egg overload here in the near future. My husband hopes to get a small farm going full force here soon.... sooooo he had me build a website and a facebook page! So if...

    Our grazing area is a lot bigger than yours.. pretty much free range them in about 1/4 acre. Only reason we have it fenced is to keep our dogs out really. It is getting a little bigger once we add the goats too. So, covering it is a bit difficult. We are thinking of covering at least a smaller...
