Is anybody in Central PA looking for a sebbie gosling? I also have three Shetland sheep lambs available and will have some rainbow layer chicks available in a few days.

have a question, had a chick hatched that was in the shell to long, the toes are not working and are curled under, the question, how to straighten them out, how to make the boots for him?
Good luck on your hatch. Did any more hatch yet?
Huge alpaca farm up the road from me if you ever want some. Seeing them and knowing what they need was enough to stop me from wanting them.![]()
Single ram
Same twin ewe as below

Twin ewe
Twin ram I'm hoping to get $250 for each ram lamb and $300 for the ewe lamb. That covers ear tagging/scrapies, ivermectin preventative, CD/T and pastuerella vaccinations and booster and NASSA registration. That's a mouthful to say, LOL! I could do better if a pair or all three go at once, of course.
Shetlands can be milked and have a delicately flavored, tender meat (even the mutton) and the wool can be used for spinning projects. Shetlands are the perfect homestead type sheep, being tri-purpose and still small enough for almost anybody to handle. They are also extremely hardy and can survive on pasture and mineral. I only grain ewes in milk, while milking (just enough to keep them standing and patient), the ram and lambs only get mineral and hay over winter. Very, very efficient homestead animals. I wanted alpacas, but the horror stories... Apparently they often need to be tied to be maintained (shearing and toenail trimming) and are just nasty little boogers.
