Here is ours: YE LOYAL YOLKFELLOW They love their coop and we can see it from our living room. :o) We think its cute.

Thank you for your kind comments. Just to answer the question, the coop is 35 sq. ft. total. Right now, my 5 older kids are sitting out on the deck around the rim eating watermelon and pizza and watching our chickies taking sand baths. Great entertainment when you don't own a TV...

Hi BYC Friends, We finally finished our coop. Just to tell the story, we had a pool on the back of our deck. It exploded in a thunderstorm and we had a gaping hole hanging off the back end of our living room. We had no idea what to do with it. We wanted something we could look at that was...

Here are pictures and based on what we just learned. The only thing I don't get are the stubby tail feathers. I'd think the roos would have the more prominent ones. AUSTROLOPE HEN AUSTROLOPE ROO (We are pretty sure) Well, I hope this helps others. I'll take the advice and see if others...

Oh Wow! I think I get it. I found this youtube I learned a lot. I'm afraid we have two roos. Hm...now what do we do? We can't keep loud animals in our subdivision. Any advice?

We have chickens that are 6 weeks old or so. Two of the black austrolopes have very prominent crests (the crown on the head) and waddles, where as the other pullets have small crests and waddles. They also seem to be larger and we just thought maybe they were slightly older or something when...

Like this... or ...maybe like this... My kids will like your response.

Hi, Just wondering if putting solar lights and a radio out by the chickens might work to deter predators. Any thoughts? Thanks in Advance, Chickylou

Skip the fate! Make yogurt! I have a great custard goat-gurt recipe I've perfected. YUMMMY! That is worth every penny for my two milkers! I've also made cheese and hot chocolate goat's milk. If your parents are in agreement, then make them some goat specialties! They sound like reasonable...

His name is Vad CJ's Eggs Over Easy. I think that's a sign! That's funny! He is REALLY cute!

We live in a bi-level. Out back we had an above ground pool attached to the deck and house. It exploded 1 year and a half ago so we have sealed off the whole surround of the deck and since there is nice sand where the pool used to sit, the goats now have a lovely, large pen and we can see them...

Please help me learn this "signs" of estrus thing. Here are some of her, I think, "symptoms". 1) She doesn't finish all of her food. She leaves half of it, even in the morning when she should be really hungry. 2) Her doe mate milker is bucking at her, ramming her, biting at her. 3) Her...

Well, I'm really new at goats, and ours aren't prego right now, but I have two Nigis. One is a milker and one that is not. This is what is working for us. Milker (Petunia) Morning milking: 1 full cup of Alfalfa pellets, 1 full cup of grain in her bowl and I throw in a bit of baking soda just...

Our chicks are now two weeks old. We have them in the brooder and the brooder is in our living room which is about 72-75 degrees all day long and all night long. Do you think I still need the heat lamp on? I was afraid I might fry them. They are getting a lot more feathers. Any thoughts?

OK, this may sound dumb, but if you are paying a breeder for their buck, you leave the does there, when would you have actual confirmation of a pregnancy? Are there any specific signs the does give when pregnant?

Sounds soooo silly, but could it be true? My two Nigerian dwarf does have been living in our shed temporarily until we finish their new "apartment" under the house and deck. I just moved them over yesterday. Well, as the story goes, the temporary shelter had a 4x4 section with a simply stud...

Hi, I got the EZ Udder. It does work, but it is a slow process for Nigerians. I finally learned how to milk them just right and it now takes me 5-7 minutes to do my doe. I actually bring the little jugs out with me and when I milk, I pour it into the jugs to keep the milk clean and so my...

They are all so cute! Do the chickens ever take a dip with the duck??

OK thanks soooo much for the info. I think I'd go with pellets (if I can find them...you're right...they might not sell them around here either). I have two Nigerian does. One is a milker. She gets 2 cups of sweet feed in the morning and evening and then all the hay she wants (plus a few...
