Shalom pen. Yes thanks
after a work day trying to convince myself to go to the gym for a workout. ......
You?

Glad to hear your well.

Doing well myself. My workouts are usually done here at home. 17 flights of stairs and 3 miles put in yesterday through out the day. Not typical but close to it.

I need some help quick

A friend is trying to find Kristins Hoop coop links and I cant find them in the notes, the ones that I see there are the square coop she built

@Blarneyeggs

I was trying to search the prior incubation thread, and received message site was being updated. If it's not found before hand, I'll look later, when things are working again.

Quit counting at 60. It's all I'm allowed here. I'm sure it's more like 80 but who's counting.

Will have numbers down in a few months. Too much to keep up with and I want my rare ones front stage

Morning Abi

guys i am so sorry I've been gone for so long! I've been super busy! but I have good news....we start building the coop on the 18th!!!

after dinner and drinks... I might say yes but I have had drinks before and this never happened. I also thought maybe the spices since it was mexican but I eat crushed red pepper on almost everything and have had food much more spicy than this... 

Allergies appear suddenly, and can go just as fast. My sister's nut allergy came suddenly, and almost killed her.

Hi Dax not Banti but,

Very simple. Vodka with vanilla beans stored in dark room and shake when you remember. Instructions on line as to the amounts. I forget each time but it seems they don't have you using enough beans. The instructions usually call for splitting the beans down the center. Too dangerous as they are thin gummy hard critters. We cut them in 1/2 pieces with scissors and it does better on getting the vanilla out of the bean. This is a trend that's catching on and prices are going up beside the growing shortage.

Those thin beans (which are best for extract) usually tell you to not try to cut lengthwise. I am just now over my first month of having to shake daily.
I bought my beans on Amazon. The description of the beans tells you everything there is to know about different beans, and how to make the extract. Only one thing is missing. It's best to allow to age three months with the beans.
I am loving my Kahlua made with vanilla beans.
DYK that vanilla extract can be made with any alcohol?

How do you get their milk supply up, when they only have one baby. All my nannies have only had 1 and I find their milk supply really low when I try to milk. Granted, they were pygmies and don't make as much as a dairy goat to begin with, but I found as soon as her baby weaned, she dried up, even with milking 2x a day.

I don't know. My two main does produce enough that I have to milk them once a day even with twins on them. I will milk once a day with the o e kid still on. They will go down some, but the two does generate enough to nurse their kids and give me a half a gallon or more each. They will drop off slowly after the kid weans, but they are dairy goats so will give quite a bit till I dry them up. The one die as a first time freshener gave me a falf a gallon a day when I started milking once a day at three months when I pulled her second kid. It took me five weeks at every other day starting in mid October to dry her up.

Correct on the age 3 months is best. And it's AWESOME
