They are adorable! I'm sorry you have so much work having to feed them. Bad mommas!

My SIL may want to buy one of your lil boys if she can find a female. She has pygmy goats now. Do you think she would have any problems mixing the two? She is selling her pygmy billy and will only have nannies.

Thanks.

No, she won't have a problem mixing them at all. Too bad I have 6 males and 1 female or else she could buy a female. And the 1 female is one of the rejected babies. The mama was heat butting her yesterday and I had to remove the baby. I don't know why the reject their own babies. I need to do some research to see what is going on in their heads when they act that way. So sad.

Both cost about the same when all is said and done and they both have pros and cons. The netting doesn't protect from above and the pen can (hawks). The netting can be hit by lighting and and fry out the solar box (happens sometimes). The pen needs to be secure top, bottom, sides, and under ground to be predator proof. If you let the girls out of the pen they only have you for protection. If the pen is too short for you to walk in then it becomes a hassle for you. The netting detours predators by way of shock where the pen makes it hard to get into. The netting can be moved to fresh grass and the pen can't (but you can do a tractor instead). You can also do a pen with an electric wire around the bottom as some do. Good luck in whatever you do decide and do a lot of research.

Not sure what's going on over at my house but these little hussies are having these babies and don't want to to take care of them.

Can I drop my boys off at your house? I need a break too!

Counting ALL the chickens can be scary

Hahaha!! Facing my chicken math today

Deciding which young chicks we are going to share with a couple of friends that need some new babies.

Glad they are going to good homes.

I think you should be there when the hospice nurse comes. He could be getting a lot more services. I have been through this a few times where they pass at home. Once he is bed ridden all the way he will have more pain and they will give meds to take care of it. When they start morphine he will need someone there if he has strength he may dream he is doing something and try to get up and do it . If he has no strength he will probably stay in bed in a dream like state. May call out etc. they hospice wants to keep him comfortable , sometimes they get restless when they give morphine. So if he takes it without any thing like I've described he will probably pass fast. You know him the best you can tell when he is ready to pass. The last day I sat with my grandpa he was very hot. I would take a cool rag and put it on his forehead . He would settle down. My grand mother asked why I was doing that, because she didn't think he knew or was having any feelings. I told her it settled him down and it didn't bother me if he knew or not. So that last day I told him how much I loved him and that it was O K for him to leave. They lived in N O. When I got home they called and said he had passed shortly after I left. So even tho he was in a coma like state I feel he heard me and knew it was time to go. I hope this helps you. He went peacefully no round the clock nurse. He did have a hospital bed and hospice. If he winds up needing the hospice house you should feel good about everything you've done to help your friend. Y'all are in my prayers.

Exactly, I was with my sister when she passed with cancer.  She had been hanging on and her daughter Renee stayed with her constantly.   I sent her home to rest and talked to Helen (coma)  I told her it was ok Renee is gone now and you can go.    She died 10 min later.    I have had the privilege to be present alone with Helen and both Mama and Daddy when they passed.     It's really a serene feeling that you accomplished something helping them. 

 

Very true about Home Hospice My mother passing only a few weeks a go, hospice helped greatly. The resond better if they know there are family and friends that care and are there. We were blessed in so many ways. Mother passed before she moved into greater pain. She was given minimum morphine. Only 3 days were she appeared out of it and unable to speak. We were told, and I know they are right. We spoke to mom, gave her permistion to leave and assurance we are ok and happy.

My nephew talked a lot with one of the hospice nurses. She confirmed it makes a difference to have loved ones around. Most always do the best to give the best care. Having caring people around inspires and gives them incentive to go the extra mile. Love is contagious.
