This made me so sad until I finished the read back - so glad they seem to be ok. Keep us posted!!!!



The link was for a set of 3 - I think you can get the individual ones for about $18 on that site.


Oh my!!!
Wow - so glad all was ok. I had a night like that, forgot to close the doors to the coops. Remembered at about 9:30PM, and found a family of young raccoons eating out of the feeder in my cockerels' bachelor pen. Fortunately, there's no ramp, so no one had gone up to their roosting level. Almost scared me to death... 


What you need is NAKED NECKED Toads. 

OMG, YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!

Not when it's so cold that they freeze, Elsa.... 

Oh, c'mon.... It's not that cold here, you just have to dress for the weather.

I don't have a huge area for a 600lbs pig! LOL I have room for a smaller one. It would also be allowed out to hang out with us during the daytime, if I could get it trained to go back into it's cage at night LOL

Why not get a guinea hog? The meat's a lot better and they're about the same size.

@fire370 I had someone refuse to sell me a Nigerian Dwarf because I have full size Nubian and Saanen. Do you keep yours seperated? Is it an issue other than for feeding?

I've had issues with Nubians and Nigis in the same pasture. Hell, I've had issues with non-conforming nigis and conforming nigis. Those goats can be darned mean to each other. And I certainly would never introduce a lone nigi into a herd of full sizers. Maybe if I was getting 3-4, and they were all together before, but yeah, bigger goats and pecking order disputes can be bad juju, at least with me.

I am not eating it - it would be a pet. ^.^

I found a few week old female that's ready to go to her new home. She's cute as pie. I'm picking her up sunday. LOL Along with my new nubians/babies.

I keep mini's and full sized goats together - but it's based on personality. My nanny that's ornery to other females is separated with my lone Pygmy billly. She's a sweetie, but she's a food hog. She was good with her baby, but once he weaned, he was a jack *** until he was removed from his mother, and now he's much nicer.

Quote: Which leads me to a question I've never thought of - how old exactly is a chicken when she is considered a hen and no longer a pullet? Mine are 11 months old - were those PULLET eggs I just set?

New pip!
