I can do is leave them in the coop and run if they take him out on the run so much I can do during the daytime that's what they did last time. I really wasn't into raising chicks this year and I don't have a separate place for broody with her chicks.

by the way the ivermectin I use a liquid I get from my vet that she gave 3 CC's per 100 orally it's not horse paste.

I am on my last gallon of it. I bought the liquid before the rx crap. Y can we get it injectable and not powder or sol liquid? Weird. I will ask vet for rx when I need one. In another year lol. I do have injectable too, that can be used on goats via injection Yes?

Yes, I get the di-methox 40% injectable without a script to use. It can be given orally or via injection. They really hate it orally though.
I get it from the vet, Jeffers or Valley vet depending on what I need to order or not.

Do u have to copper bolus or copper sulfate them like we fo here? Copper antagonists: lead, iron, manganese, various sulfates, cadmium, and molybdenum. My issue is they hay guys I purchased from haven't answers for my questions as to what their soil is lacking etc. I think most sell the hay for the old timer farmers around here. Any big farm operation uses their own stuff not sells it. Idk hay has me dumbfounded. I try to keep fresh minerals out but it's so humid and wet all year long it gets damp and they dont touch it until I put fresh in. How do u deal w that? They dont touch mineral blocks either.

Well I use multimin 90 twice a year. four to six weeks before breeding and a month before the kidding, so that helps with a lot of the things that or just low in. I also use loose minerals. the best way that I found a deal with minerals and they still waste is I just have these little containers and I just put a little bit out every few days or once a week depending on how often they're eating it. I also put out two different minerals. Sometimes they really eat one and sometimes the other. by just putting a little bit in multiple containers because I have so many animals that eat and keeps it from being out too long or hogged by one. tractor supply has these little black feeder things it's two pans in one and I usually hang several in the different shelters and put a little bit of baking soda one side and mineral the other or it'll be the two different types of mineral.
 
my goal soon is to build a mineral feeder they have to kind of stick their head in and has a flip up and down lid for me so that I can cut down on the tendency to want to poop in it and still keep it low enough for the young ones.
something along the lines of nest box when there are two or three with a lid that you can flip up to get the eggs out I'm thinking the same type thing for the goat mineral
