I added the cherry koolaid to the water bucket today. They were quite interested but I didn’t see anyone drink. It has been rather chilly the last few days, so maybe they’re just not drinking as much? And I added it during the afternoon. I’ll keep an eye on the water level tomorrow. Thanks for...
So, I gave my baby his CD/T shot this morning and gave him his dewormer this afternoon. I found a lamb/kid supplement/minerals that is supposed to provide nourishment and energy. This evening he was completely different! I let all 3 out of the pen while I was outside working (the older male...
