Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[Tippylou]

Well, I finally got to the end, kind of sad now, I know the thread is still going, but now I don't have "Oz on tap", I will have to wait for the new stuff with everyone else... on the other hand, I can finally comment and not look like a dork commenting a year behind times.

I know your pain!

This was one of the threads I first started reading too. Don't worry guys, you'll find other threads that will consume all of your time too. But this is probably the most interesting adventure.

Yup, Ben is an interesting character too. A bit of a running nut, though

I don't think I would be up for a 80 km race.

A solid looking lad for 5.5 months - he will be ready for action as soon as the mammas come on heat.

I think you should call him "Sonny Chabichou."

All of that horn at only 5.5 months? Let alone his other full grown assets.
I don't know goats, but that seems a bit much.

Saanens have a lot of horn and bucks are "good to go" at 7-8 months. This guy "assets" look appropriate to me as compared withe the last guy that we bought at 7 months.

The seller is very passionate about her goats and has sent me more than 30 PMs making sure I will look after him so I feel pretty comfortable she is genuine.

Best way to determine age is the teeth

here is a picture of his Pappa. Mamma is an F2 so her maternal lines is weak but her paternal line has a good milking record.
