Pretty normal, he's showing them a good place to lay.

Don't need your dollar but get those solar panels up so the goats don't ruin them

huh...that was my attempt at solar farming...
Im not worried about the panels they are cheap tough and just for a camera each... cracked or dim light i get what i need as long as its functional.

You would not have won the dollar anyway lol

I have a rooster with deformed feet (extra tows) is this a inbred thing?
Should i not have him cross with my flock?
