First Goats!!

I think the bucks also pee on themselves.

Which is why I wanted to find a stud.

As long as the herd is disease-free, I would be fine with my girls staying for a month. And yes, they do.

They do if they aren't wethers.

I have four useless males. At least they don't cost much.

But they mow for you?

All they want to do is eat the plum tree (which is VERY toxic for them) or the butterfly bushes. They are to many toxic plants for them to graze... which is to bad because if they actually did mow they would save 3 hours of cutting the grass.

He had a bad experience with a large buck... with horns... and something about it peeing on its own face... LMAO, it was a whole THING apparently....
I may be too old to take on sheep. I may just stick with my chickens..
I have 4 separate flocks, one is large, mainly pets and I share their eggs with everyone. The other 3, we somehow acquired a few at a time, and we love them.

I absolutely love my chickens, there's nothing like them honestly. What breeds do you have?

 

[PiedPiperDucklings]

Have you built them a pen yet?

Yeah, they have a pen ready, they're just still on the bottle so they're sleeping in a crate until they sleep through the night

Black silkies, White silkies, a game bunch and my big flock is several breeds of egg layer hens and 1 Light Brahma roo.

Love my freeloader boys too! They don't stink, love attention and kitchen scraps, and (most importantly) just point them at the poison ivy and its go time.

They are definitely a great entertainment source! Mine too LOVE attention.

Mine live in the same pen as the pigs do. Sometimes the pigs will sleep next to the gate and the goats have learned they can use the pigs as a stepping stool to hop the fence
