Yours eat grass? Lucky mine don’t

Mine are eating the grass out in the field, likely the last day for that as we will be getting snow later.

Mine eat grass, leaves and the pine needles off the trees.

Sounds about the same as here. Anddddd the two little chitsss found there way through the chicken door and to the feeder. Time to shrink the chicken door.

Gave the Valbazen today. I gave 6ml each.Tried soaking it into 1/2 a bagel and then covered the bagel with applesauce. After the first bite he was over it. So I ended up just giving it to them orally with the syringe without needle. Was a lot easier than I thought.
For what it’s worth Valbazen bottle says 1ml per 25 lbs. After researching many different post it looks like many actually give 1ml per 10 lbs. Again this is what I did for 2 1/2 year old Nigerian Dwarf Goats which I put around the 75lb.ish range. So far no one has flopped over. I ended up splitting it and going in the middle. I will likely do a fecal I about 3-4 weeks to see what it says.
Anyone have any information about mail in fecal tests? Who what when and where?

Any vet can do a fecal test..

I wasn’t looking to pay the premium to the vet. I would prefer to just mail it in if possible.

Oh well I'd think mailing wouldn't be a fresh fecal sample. You bought the animals so it's actually not expensive..

I really enjoyed my goats until I found out the boys pee on their beards to be extra sexy. I don't have goats anymore.

Your boys much have not been fixed. My wether(fixed male) does not do that.

@chickens really do yours huddle together to sleep or do they stay separate?
