    *GOAT* Mineral deficiency??

    We have a goat that seems to be experiencing a mineral deficiency; I expect copper!! We are on well water, and I know it's iron rich - which competes with copper. I do not believe it's any external parasites, as I have delt with this before and it's not similar (but please, correct me if im...

    Maybe I'm just jumping the gun and excited!! My muscovies are not laying yet either; we are in British Columbia Canada. I see posts here and there with people and their waterfowl begining to lay and I'm chomping at the bit!

    Okay so, Freckles actually has a rather interesting way of life hahaha. They (as I'm now unsure of gender hahaha) live with our lone goat; they are a hilarious pair indeed! During the day, Freckles free ranges. But I know where they are at all times and follow around and nothing 😂😬🫠 I usually...

    When we had our pair, the other was the more boisterous and sassy acting of the two, constant neck noodling and acting fierce 😂 but, perhaps Miso was just more dominant..??? Freckles is quite shy

    @Goosebaby @JRies Here is Freckles in all their glory; we started doing supplements of all kinds and they are back up to their regular wonderful goosey self again!!! You guys were so helpful, I thought you may be able to weigh in on my next question 😬

    Hello! Me again. This is Freckles!! I was ADAMANT this goose of ours was a girl (how they acted, etc) but now that Spring is approaching and I am still not seeing any eggs.. I am wondering 🤣 they are an Embden cross. Hatched April last year. I will try to get a video of them making noise at...

    So do you think if I got a higher protein feed like game bird, and supplemented niacin (brewers yeast or nutritional) that could work well? @Goosebaby what do you think! My chickens eat the seeds no problem, but I wonder about geese (and ducks for that matter lol)

    Hahaha - yes! Black oil sunflower seeds. They have a thin hull, and high oil/fat content! A lot of people leave them out for wild birds in winter, but I also get them for my chickens, and my goats love them as well (goats love everything though... Lol) Quote: high in protein, fiber, calcium...

    I'm thinking I may add some BOSS, I know they are good calories and iron, I also just read they are a good b complex too! She was not a fan of her soaked oats lol. Basically ate around them (because I tried to be sneaky and mix them into her feed 😂🥴

    I'm thinking I will keep up with peas; I know you guys mentioned oats and corn and things.. What kind of oats? I have easy access to black oil sunflower seeds as well if that could be of help!

    This would make sense ❤️ while she WAS eating (she still is) during her not feeling well bout she definitely was off, and not her usual self. And as I mentioned, she was interested in foraging but not really DOING so as she obviously wasn't feeling super well. I will keep up with supplements and...

    @Goosebaby any ideas?? She seems happy otherwise (also not how I usually feed her lol!! But it keeps her still got photos ) @JRies it's not warm at all here right now, so I can't imagine? It's autumn and quite cool now of course

    I DEFINITELY think there's some major growing going on too! She seems to be holding her wings as though they are heavy? NOT angel wing, just sort of holding them downward a bit (and not always, not dragging or anything crazy) I'll try to get a picture

    I FULLY considered bringing her in and setting her upstairs, in the spare bedroom! What a hilarious noise that would be every morning.

    I truly was feeling a little lost and really REALLY worried... I cannot thank you and the others for your help. Her pen no longer has grass (because, goats lol) but she is out to free range every day - and we have no shortage of it! I think it really helped to get her out a few times a day...

    You can tell she is a little unsteady on her feet - but she is NOT stumbling now, just looks cautious. I am SO relieved - I may have got teary eyed LOL.

I was SHOCKED. I will continue to give her b vitamins for the next few days, what do you think @Goosebaby...
