Forest hill. 300 acres so far. Wind was blowing it back into itself so hopefully that will help. Mandatory evacuations people with animals are directed to Auburn fair grounds

Oh okay. Hopefully they get that under control.

 

[Chaos18]

so who did it, if not the goat???

Probably either the dog or the kid.

Probably either the dog or the kid.

probably, or the 3 of them together

That's possible as well.

Pictures of them?

I think of them as a cross between a rabbit as far as birthing and a cornish cross chicken as far as growing, of the goat world, most people never heard of them.

Kinders were originally a cross between Nubian and Pygmy, then through selective breeding bred true to the Kinder.

"Kinder does weigh about 110–125 pounds, and bucks a little more - 135–150 pounds. The maximum height at the withers of a Kinder is 26 inches for does and 28 inches for bucks, and the minimum is 20 inches.
Unlike many breeds, Kinder goats are aseasonal breeders, meaning they can be bred throughout the year; this trait is inherited from their pygmy ancestors (are easier to milk than pygmy). Also, they frequently have multiple births (triplets, quadruplets, and even quintuplets are common in Kinders. There have been 7 reported births of sextuplets).
Kinder milk has a high butterfat content, sometimes having higher than 7 percent butterfat; it also has higher amounts of milk solids, yielding larger amounts of cheese.
A gallon of milk from one of the larger breeds of goat, or from a cow, will usually yield around a pound to a pound and a half of cheese, but a gallon of Kinder milk will yield about twice that.
Generally speaking, you can expect to get 3-4 pounds (6-8 cups) of milk per day from a first freshener being milked twice daily.
Adult does should level off at anywhere form 4-8 pounds per day, or 8-16 cups of milk.
In spite of their smaller size, Kinders are generally more muscular than a full-size dairy goat, often yielding dressing percentages over 60%, reaching 70% of their full weight before they reach a year, They are very efficient in their feed conversion rate."

Interesting. Dual purpose critters are always a plus.

I wonder how old I'd be?


Good night.... Good morning! Now, whaddaya wanna know bout guineas?

You would be ..... hmmmm ..... I don't know. Maybe four?

About guineas - I want to know everything! I have a lot of reading to do! I have two keets coming next Wednesday with five chicks. Can I raise them together? If the brooder has to be 95 degrees for the guineas until they are fully feathered, how would I raise them with chicks? Can they eat chick starter? What should I read to learn more about them? I already read the thread "Raising Guinea Fowl 101" but not much else!

Yeah, but their running walk ain't bad
They are if they're cooked right
Not sure; don't remember how many I started with
Only if they're standing on an iceberg
Couldn't say; never bought any

I have, actually; had a purple one as a pet
No. I tried, but it was too big for my 'bator,
Yes, I did. Took me a week to finish it.
Chicken
About the size of a modern-day unicorn
I could.
Yes I did; every weekend. Was a champion rider 5 years running in PRCA

I have; named him Sinclair. He pulled a cart once, but he got scared, flipped over backward, & crushed it.
Very warm, and smelly

Made them myself. Had a factory set up in the back of my cave

Here a new batch of feed with very hot paprika inside !

I put 100gr ( 3.5 ounces ) in a 10 kg ( 22 pounds ) batch and I mix it very good, the layer you saw was befor mixing

Hmmm .... I might try that! Do the eggs taste different than regular eggs?

I am reposting this post, Inwant your opinion on their methods of helping hatching! Go to minute 29:00

I'm no expert, but you wouldn't catch me doing that! I don't think they're careful enough!

Real close! Candled for the 1st time yesterday; looks like several clears. Wondering if Mr. Tucker is doing the job as well as I'd hoped. I saw movement & veining in a few though, so it's not a totally wasted effort. Broody's camped on 5 more, so I should have several replacement pullets when it's all said and done, which is all I wanted from the start.

Interesting. Is that also the kind of goat that falls over when it's scared?
