Scg your goats are so sweet.

They can be sweet but I also want to murder them most days.

They are colossal hay wasters. They make a giant mess in their house. They strenuously dislike hoof clipping and when you do it it's like a cross between the circus and the olympics. And whenever things don't go their way (ie almost every waking second) they emit the most godawful child-like-temper-tantrum-like screams. At least Pippy does. Caramel is slightly less annoying sound wise but more of a jerk, action wise.

Kluckychik I know some people on here don't do it. But.... Some serious breeders use canine red cell in their breeders water. It boosts their vitamins up and they produce more eggs. I tried it and I used it on my Buckeye and Chantecler's and the breeder I got my Buckeye from Chris Mccary uses it and he recommends it all the time on his face book page to newbie breeders.
It's not expensive and you might find it helps your breeders. I just used one cap full in a 2 gallon bucket.

Im prob just going to cull her. I have some growing out from @RavynFallen. I like their crests better anyway. My cock bird is from @Junibutt. He most likely carries a recessive white plumage gene.
Idk. Im seriously considering going with Lav Ams

I've shied away from GFF

Their ayam camanis are the laughing stock. They are terrible and terribly overpriced

Any guesses what this fine specimen is. American Bresse, from a breeder whom I trust. He's had the same problems with GFF. Pretty bird just not supposed to have brown in it. I was told it was from the sunshine after contacting them. Two other breeds with similar problems. Done with them.

These girls believe in safety in numbers. No way am I going in there to break up broody alley. One broody is one thing. Five flapping birds with rooster just outside is quite the other. Only one has eggs that I know of. The rest may only have one a piece.

This is where some of the hens are laying. The egg in front can be reached if I stretch. The four in back takes a shovel.
