Granny's gone and done it again

Male goats are really bad.

They love peeing on their beards.. it's a female attractant... at least they think so.

CSolis, Is that your name or does it have a special meaning ? Reminds me of the sunshine !

He likes her but he said she wouldnt make eye contact.

Could be she has Tourette's Syndrome. I know a guy with it. He said it is PHYSICALLY PAINFUL to look people in the eye. I don't know how that works but he's very bright and knows himself. If Robert and the girl keep seeing each other, friends or "dates", don't press her on it. Just understand she is uncomfortable with eye contact. There are worse things!

Cindy is my first name, Solis my last (from a marriage). Used it for years now since my first gmail experience. email has nfl tacked on the end of it, not from Nat'l Feetsball League, but from Naples, FL where I was residing when I got my email addy. It's just kinda stuck.. don't know what else to call meself. I'm Alabama Patriot on Discord.

Sooooooo, I spent time out in the pen with Henri, I call it Henri's Hideaway. He's still eating and resting mostly, still perky, still loving getting 'groomed' by momma. Today he was on my shoulder but moved down my arm as I rested it on my knee. I was sitting on the grass in his pen. One thing new I noticed is his stance so to speak on the perch. He's way more forward leaning now, as if either a) it helps him balance better or b) it's taking pressure off the hocks or leg joints. Still no improvement in the injured foot. Still no signs of bumblyfeets. Still same warm/cool feel to the legs as though his immune system is working hard. Started adding a crushed half a tab of B-Complex to his morning scrambled egg. He's much (1/3) smaller than the other chickens his age, and seems boney. Danged Squirrel is dangling from the bird feeder right in the middle of my train of thought. BRB

OK BACK.. I don't see any improvement at all after 3 days of Vit B complex, and more than that with Echinacea. Don't know if it's a 'sports' injury, or Merecks or what at this point. Just trying to be patient and let whatever happens happen, healing or otherwise.

Never heard of tourettes causing someone to not be able to look another in the eyes. I have however studied autism pretty deeply and it is one of the first symptoms of not making eye contact.

Its not merecks Look w/ a magnifying glass for a hair or something wrapped around the toe. What do you worm with?

Not many can ! Its terrible. Cheapest casket I could find was $1,100.00

I figure to go straight to the cremation chamber. No need for an expensive box.

I am only getting girls. The boys stink!

I BELIEVE they stink mostly when the girls are in heat. Gotta attract the girls you know. Their version of Axe (which is DISGUSTING!)

I am going to have to learn all the goat names, she gave them all names. Having different colored collars will help.

I have to learn the names when DD1 names chicks. Always takes me quite a long time.

I haven't yet. They are still on medicated starter grower at 14 weeks of age. And I've washed his leg and foot with tree tea oil in warm water as a disinfectant looking closely for cuts, bruises, or anything abnormal. What should he be wormed with at his age? All the other 'guys' are bigger, with no signs of injury or illness of any sort.

IDK Cindy, Casportpony or dawg 57 (53? 5something)are good people to ask about that.
