    Goat aprons

    That's what I keep thinking, but I've been reading that they've been used forever in other countries, successfully.

    Goat aprons

    So I have 2 ND bucks who are living separate, but would really like not to be. They are still young, about 3 months old, so they are tiny. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone uses goat aprons and if so, are they successful? I'd love for them to all run together, but I don't want any unexpected...

    New goats - intro help

    She's getting there. She still tries to head butt them, but here soon if she keeps it up, she will see what horns are lol. She's polled and they aren't. I have seen her playing some with them this week! I've got 2 more coming in May so she will need to get over herself lol.

    New goats - intro help

    They are doing ok. It's been a week and she isn't running them off every time they try to go in lol. She has let them climb the play structure a couple times too. I still have the separate pen up and they are actually going in there every night on their own, which is nice since they are little...

    Thanks. I am setting up a different shelter today that they can access on their own, so I will see how things go after that.

    New goats - intro help

    I currently have one goat, a ND doe, who is 11-12 years old. Her sister died in late November. I decided I wanted to go ahead and start raising/ breeding goats, plus I figured she'd want since company since they are here animals. Anyway, today I got 2 3 month old does. I brought them home and...

    Can a dog and chickens safely coexist in a small backyard?

    I have 4 dogs, a pittie, a chihuahua,a chi mix and a Heinz 57. The Heinz 57 is a puppy, but she is learning to leave them alone. The other 3 don't bother the chickens at all. I had the two little ones before the chickens and I adopted my pit after I had them. I just taught her to leave them...

    How Many PET Chickens Are In Your Flock?

    In 2015 I started with 6. After many losses and additions, I am at 75. I have 4 broody hens at the moment tho, so who knows what I'll end up at in a week or so. I am making plans to start building another coop 🤪.

    Official BYC Poll: What type of COOP bedding do you like best?

    Mine is elevated and has a wooden floor with linoleum under the roosts. It makes it so much easier to clean! That's for the warm months. In the winter I use equine pine pellets. They soak up moisture like crazy and become a thick saw dust, which is also easy to clean. I also use these for cat...

    Chicken unable to stand

    I didn't feel anything when I checked her and nothing came out. So I'm at a loss. I guess i will give her vitamins and such in her water and see what happens. If she isnt better in a few more days or showing any signs of improvement I guess I will have to put her out of her misery. I can't get...

    Chicken unable to stand

    She was when I originally brought her in, which is why I thought she was egg bound, but now she is just laying with her legs under her.

    Chicken unable to stand

    Yes vaccinated. No new chickens since last summer. I haven't felt an egg, but can try internal check tomorrow. If not an egg, then I guess I am left to assume that it is something internally pressing on her spine or something. I was hopeful that she'd be ok, but if she doesn't start eating...

    Where do you buy goats?

    Keep them entertained and they are less likely to escape. Things to climb on and under, tires, balls, mine love the little cots used in daycares lol. They lay on them all the time.

    I'm getting bunnies. Does and don't

    Oxbow is the best brand for rabbits. Also have oxbow critical care on hand always, plus a baby food to mix with it. Also papaya is great for digestive illnesses, but they can't have it when they are young. Oh and pedialyte for electrolytes if sick and even baby rice cereal is good to have...

    Chicken unable to stand

    2 days ago one of my hens was acting weird. She seemed like she was egg bound by the way she was standing. I checked and didn't feel anything. I put her in warm water for awhile and massaged her vent, still nothing. I figured I would keep her inside so I could keep an eye on her. Next day, she...
