[chickens really]

I guess I got a lot to say.

Keep saying anything Lisa I appreciate the help...

Oh and I had one fainting goat. She showed up in a Nigerian breeding. I had no clue and initially thought she had tetanus as a kid.

If they are fainters, they will faint from birth in my experiences. It's a genectic thing, not just a breed thing.

How does it happen? I'm scared about the fainting thing..

My one fainter was the easiest goat to catch. We just started to chase her and see stiffened up and fell over. Her name of course was Stiffy.

I've kept goats for over 30 years now, longer than chickens. The only thing I've had longer is dogs.

Oh my lord Lisa...I'll definitely freak out if that happens?
Do they revive quickly?

I just want to say that I am excited that you are getting goats! It's in our future plans too.

It takes a few moments. Every fainter can be different on their reaction and recovery from it.

Some full out fall down, and some will just stumble a bit. I actually didn't like it because it looks like a full body muscle cramp, and mine would cry out during it. Some people fine it funny, but I find it kinda sad.
