Getting Goat kids

[chickens really]

Can you tie her? We had to tie our buck...he was a handful. He did get restless, but, the girls stayed right with him. He was just too much goat for me too handle...which is why we decided to not have a buck.

No the pen is surrounding pine trees so she would be tangled up. It's a nightmare is all I can say! She's awful!

I am and Im not. The calls drove Chris nuts, due to the noise. The ducks, I miss, but, I’m soooo busy, and, they took up sooo much time just with the maintenance. But. Do miss THEM. I hope to get a few, down the road...but just a few...

I'm seriously selling everything this spring. No more Ducks.

I'm thinking it's going to cost me about $1000 to actually contain this bad girl..
over the $500 I've spent already on fence..

My Son has tried to contain her. Not enough though.
I'll go full balls on fence this spring and that crazy girl will be contained! I'm at a loss with her..
She causes Ozzy to panic too because she loses her marbles!

So your love of them is no more ?

Today I took the babies on their first walks! What a riot! The boys resisTed at first, then when I stopped walking, they started to lead! Roxy loved it and never left my side. I took them in with Honey and Sugar. Honey did great! Just sniffed bums. The kids were scared, but I was right there. Sugar just stayed in the goat shed and bawled....I think she was jealous that someone else had my attention...hmmm?? Right now the kids would fire through panels. I suppose I could put them in my area where the ducks are, but it’s solid mud right now due to the weather, so, I wouldn’t leave them in there long. Plus , it’s still too cold for them to be. Out long. They aren’t adjusted to that yet. Too young. But, we’re making progress. The plan is to wean them at 8 weeks, then they’ll be able to stay from moms longer.

My friend has goat sized pop door things so hers go in and outside.. I want to do that too.

I love her desperately and Ozzy. It's definitely frustrating though..

Ducks are very hard to keep here in central Alberta. It's cold most of the year.
