Looking for some advice. I have a 6-month-old TAMUK doe who was bred last month. I gave her a clean/sanitized (but previously used) wooden nest box with fresh straw on day 28 of her pregnancy and she was showing healthy signs of wanting to nest. But she absolutely refused the box. She would...
Hi all!
I am new to owning goats this year and everyone in my herd was disbudded at a young age by the breeders. I’ve found a doe that is lovely, but she wasn’t disbudded. Is it too late to do anything about her tiny horns? I’m not sure it would be safe to have one horned goat. Thoughts?
Hi everyone,
We have a trio of Nubian cross goats available (2 are Saanen X Nubian and the other is Nubian X Nubian). They are roughly 5 months old, very friendly, disbudded and the doeling is registered. There’s two wethers and a doeling. We are in Nottingham, NH.

Hello! I have started backyard rabbits and chickens this year.
We've already had one successful kindling from a doe last week and this week another doe is due (tomorrow) and I had put her nestbox in a week early because the other doe had pulled fur a whole week early (but kindled the expected...
The lady who's selling her to me will be driving 2 hours so I'm paying $25 to cover gas.
I'm still stuck on what to name her.
I'm glad that I set up her pen yesterday in time.
I plan on bonding her to Copper later in the year after I've gotten them both fixed and they've had time to heal. I...
Bit of an odd question, but this stems from what my goat is going through.
So long story short, starting a few months ago, Jordi started peeing red. I called the vet who came down to look at her and do an ultrasound (which she wasn't still for at all; you need an army to hold this goat, and...
So long story short we are starting our foray into goat keeping. We bought three nubian kids at auction eleven days ago, and got two free nubian does today. The kids have already been dosed with pour-on ivermectin since they were COVERED in biting lice. One of the does is very thin which is why...
I’ve had chickens and been a part of this community for over a year, but now I have my first goat! She is a 5 month old boer doeling that I will be raising to show as a breeding doe at major shows across Texas. I have a few questions and things I would like clarification on.
1. Alfalfa? My...
I have two does - a mother and daughter (I do not milk the mom, and daughter seems weaned except for the occasional comfort nursing). The mother is a bit over 2.5 years, and the daughter is about 11 months old. The daughter is slightly overweight, but Little Mama, who has never been particularly...
Since we got our rabbits [2 new zealand and 1 californian] they've been together in a community cage. [Cali is 6 months, NZ's are 5 months.] It has a wood den for them to lay in and it started tonight that we've noticed, our californian [she's a month older than the new zealands] has started...
