valsey while only you will ever know if you did isolate the animals when this first started,your own statements that the wound never heals "because a chicken reopens the wound daily" and "everyone is free range" tell the true facts.
This is not an attack,just pointing why we question your animal husbandry procedures.
Only YOU, Colorado Girl, appear to question my animal husbandry procedures. I've done pretty well with my flock for the last 6 years and I'm sure there's many more happy years ahead for them. And how long have you been raising chickens...do you have maybe less than a years experience? Do you know anything about chicken behavior and their cannibalistic tendencies? And what do you know about goats?
It IS an attack when you question someone's way of doing things. I thought this forum was for help and advice, not criticism. You have no business judging what I do - whether I separated the chickens from the goats, whether I did not, or whether I chose a pattern of doing things to try to come up with the offenders..it's really not your concern.
If ya can't say something nice...
valsey by your own words you did not follow proper procedures to give good care to the poor goat. Several here gave you the only proper answer but you seem to ignore that advice and then get upset at our help. Colorado Girl is not the only one that questioned your methods,I also did as well as a couple of others,but we all did that in concern for the poor goat. Again,by your own words you allowed the goat to be abused by the chickens and suffer needlessly.
Time to step up and be an adult about this issue...and for Gods sake DO THE RIGHT THING AND KEEP THE DARN CHICKENS AWAY FROM THE POOR GOAT!!!! You may not like it...the goat and chickens may not like it...but it's best for the poor goat! In my opinion you are bordering on animal abuse and should be turned in to the Animal Control Officer if you let this go on!
