    Swollen Goat Vulva

    Thanks. I used to have goats years ago but never bred any of them. They were mostly show wethers. And help my neighbors feed theirs when they go on vacation once a year. The older doe I have is the mother to the one in question and she never swelled like that. I was worried something was...

    Swollen Goat Vulva

    I have a doe that I put in with the buck the last weekend of Nov 2024 She still has about 1 1/2 more month + to go as I don't know the exact day of breeding. She's a first time 2 year old. She is definitely bred and her nipples have increased drastically in size the past few days. I noticed her...

I also raise them, but right now am almost full with orders. Mine don't start laying till April and...

    1951 Farm Master Incubator

    Even if it's a 600 egg incubator it works pretty much the same way. I bought the 600 egg one last fall and used these instructions and it's working great. Started it up Sunday night. Set the eggs by Monday night. And no fluctuations of any kind. My only issue is the egg roller. They just don't...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    My all time favorite chicken breed. I've been breeding them for about 10 years now. But it's been really hard hatching them. So I started shipping the eggs. After eggs were getting destroyed I went back to hatching last year. Planning on expanding my flock this year. Casadia Farms and Fowl...

    Has anyone used a plastic container as a brooder?

    I was using an old plastic recycle bin with an old oven rack till I seen my little sister using the hardware wire. I never had a problem with plastic.

    Has anyone used a plastic container as a brooder?

    I use them all the time. I cut the center of the top out and zip tie hardware wire on it. That gives me a way to set the heat light on top. And I use puppy pads in the bottom. I have never had any issues and I've been doing it for around 5 years now. My little sister gave me the used and she's...

    I found an Old cabinet incubator - Sears Roebuck farm master

    I know this is an old post but if anyone wants pics of the wiring I can try my best to get one from mine. I just bought one that has been used every year, up to summer 2023 It was from an elderly man who said he won't be hatching anymore. Seems pretty simple to use. He said just fill the pan in...

    Hens sitting in nest box for a couple of hours, but not laying

    I know this is an old thread. But I thought I would let you know what one of my hens are doing. She's a Malay. About 3 years old. She stops laying in the winter. In the spring she will set in the next box on and off all day. But she eats and drinks fine. After a couple of weeks she'll start...
