Quote: Yup, we have 11 goats here + baby. 8 nannies expecting (we hope) and they could have 2-3 a piece, well we will be up to our necks in little nay nays.

We have the first baby of this kidding season. Others won't be due until Jan. He is a cute little buck that will be ready for Christmas if anyone wants him. He can go as a buck or weathered. He will also be de-horned before going. We all love on him everyday so he will be real sweet. Here he is with mother Scarlet.

can i pass it off as another beagle?

Notinoz: Sweet PDZ is used to keep horse stalls deodorized. I think that the Mesa Feed Barn sells it, if not, there should be a feed store in the area that does. I bought my bag from Western Ranchman a couple of years ago.

Western Ranchman still sells it. $15.70 for the powder form.

Going to start coop construction tomorrow.

No interior wall to the "house" portion of it to allow for ventilation. Solid roof.

The breakdown:

Looks like our friends down in the ol' Pueblo got a bit of rain. Wish we would have gotten a shower or two, my garden could have used it. I'm just getting ready to harvest the corn I planted on Labor Day.

I like the look

, but I foresee a couple of issues with your design. First, having a coop tall enough to stand up in is really important when you are building one this large, and you have only designed it to be 5' tall. That means that every time you enter you will be stooping over. That will get old by the end of the first week, if not sooner. Second, plywood comes in 4'x8' sheets, not 5'x12' It might be possible to find a 4'x12' length if you search long and hard, but it will probably be more expensive than one and a half sheets of 4x8. 5' width sheets simply don't exit. So you need to take that into consideration in planning the layout.

My Daphne is really a Dabney. Thought I heard a crow 2 weeks ago but then only clucking like my hens. No doubt today of the gender. Will see if Cecilia (all gray) and Penelope (gray with white neck) will be needing their names changed too.

Too funny, I called one of mine Mork (as I taped him/her hatching for my blog and compared it to Mork from Ork) turns out she is now being called Morque cause her counterpart sister is Mindy. My fave little yellow one I called Chaquita is a roo, but I still am calling him Chaquita...Hugs, Di
