North Augusta, SC here! Just starting out a new back yard flock of Dominiques.

Dominiques, did I hear Dominiques! We love Dominiques!! Welcome to the thread! Tell us more about your Dominiques--are they laying?

Nice millies! And you may not have rocks but ya'll sure do have the prettiest snow white sand down there. I'll trade you a load of rocks for sand.

It is a local sand and very white. I really like it too! I would bring you some if you weren't so far away!

I am on a hill so plenty of them here.........want me to bring you some to Newnan?

Now that is a thought! How would that sound telling my DH--We are picking up hatching eggs, chicks and oh, some rocks!

Morning South Carolina!! Just wanted to pass the info along in regards to the Spring Carolina Chickenstock. I have updated the thread as some info has been confirmed. I am also starting to take donations for the raffles. If you have anything you would like to donate please pm or email me. I will be confirming a local charity in the near future to attend the event and all proceeds will benefit.

Got my d'Anver trio today They are adorable! THANK YOU JACKIE! Can't wait to get them all set up in their new home. I have a pretty big tractor we built to grow chicks out in that is going to be theirs. Just have to clean it up and move it near the other coops! Pretty sure after only having them a few hours they're already my favorites (but don't tell the others!)

So where are the pictures??? Glad you got them and are getting them settled in.

I know that but don't know what vet will do! I am not doing it! And still... poor boy!! LOL I even had to explain the tool to my son one day in TSC...He picked it up and asked...he is 13 so I told! The look on his face was hilarious!

DON"T BAND AT 3 WEEKS!

DH says I was wrong... he does not go by age, but by size of what you are banding (lol) He said at 6 months they will probably be too big. Check them around 3-4 months of age.
If you do it when they are too small it can cause the urethra to stop developing..and if the goat gets stones it can cause it to need surgery.
