    Chick Has One Good Leg but Won't Use the Other- Can't Walk

    I brought home a young chick- only a few days old. I don't think it's spraddle leg since its leg isn't laying flat out. He is just sitting. He will put weight on the one leg if I'm holding him up but he didn't like it when I gently stretched his other leg out. He is eating and drinking...

    Moving a broody hen

    I typically get the area ready that I'd like to keep my broody hen in (making sure it's dark and quiet where she's at) and then I wait till the evening to move her and the eggs.

    I am thinking about getting a goat (s) but have some questions

    Okay, just saw your post; I was typing! LOL It's good you're getting two. Are you just having them for pets? Or are you going to be breeding them? I'd recommend that you have that buck wethered {castrated} before putting him with the doe; otherwise, other acceptable pairings are two does...

    I am thinking about getting a goat (s) but have some questions

    I agree with the above comments. Goats are herd animals. You must have two to keep them happy. A dog, cat, horse, chicken, or human won't do it. How young is the goat? Is it weaned? Regardless, your goats must be taken care of and checked on every day. If you leave, you will need to...

    How should I raise my australian shepherd puppy?

    Congrats on your new pup! I grew up with an Aussie; still have him and he's coming on 15 years of age. Got ourselves a second one almost three years ago. The thing I have discovered with Aussies is they need to be properly socialized at a young age. I've had both extremes. One was super...

    Goat questions

    x 2 1. Will your goats have horns? or be disbudded/ polled? If they are horned, you'll want to be careful about keeping collars on them since they could accidentally hook each other. Also, if you're getting horned goats,you need to use fencing that they can't get their heads through,thus...

    Saanen bagged up right after mating... is that common?

    It could be she's a precocious milker- a goat that will come into milk without having been or needing to be bred to produce milk. If she were uncomfortable and not used to having a full udder, then it's possible she could've drunk it- if so, this is a bad habit that needs to be stopped as soon...

    Lets talk about goats!

    Yep. I use the words 'Down' and/or 'No' firmly while gently pushing them down. Do not pet them when they do it or say down/no in nice/soft voice. Once they get down, praise them, pet them, or give a treat, but petting usually is better. I especially like to train them with the Down command...

    Lets talk about goats!

    Okay, you sure could be right! I have ND's but they've usually given me trips & quads and kid on Day 140- something. : ) Course, I did have a doe kid twins one time on Day 141!! Yep, I think you've got a point. ;)

    Beautiful snake! Snakes(both venomous and nonvenomous) are extremely beneficial. Instead of killing them, I'd suggest finding someone who is experienced in handling snakes to come take them off your hands for you. I know a lot of snakes are being seen lately because all the rain we've had...

    Lets talk about goats!

    All goats are pregnant for a total of five months or 145-155 days. Goats that have 3-4 kids(such as Nigerian Dwarfs) tend to kid nearer 145-148 days . Your standard does tend to kid around Day 150 or past that because they have 1-2 kids. :)

    Just a couple goat questions . . . . .

    The most important thing is to do your research. Learn as much as you can before you get your goats to save yourself from a lot of heartache. What kind of feed and hay are you going to get? What will your does need? Your bucks? Your kids? It all depends on whether you will be keeping them dry...
