Liz, you need mini donkers, they're hilarious and just adorable.

mini donkers do they have a use? I know I am nuts, I need to have my animals useful in some way.
You can train them to a cart, just as you would a goat.

I have a wagon for that lol

Has anyone had success using paper towels or a tea towel to line the floor of their incubator. I don't have the shelf liner that I would normally use and I don't want my little bantams to get their legs stuck in the metal grid on the floor of the incubator. Should I just run out and buy more shelf liner or would something else work? Lockdown should happen in a couple hours.

Tea towel or towel works perfectly

I'm fortunate with the relatively low amount of predators here, coyotes are getting closer, if not already here.

Something about feeding the cougar doesn't set well. Coyotes have always been here. Just about dusk they start screaming.
