Toddlers are Quackers

Yes dry heat is better then wet heat. However no heat is the bestest.

We are back to Canada or Alaska.

Yuck, just yuck.
I like New Mexico better, but agree on the dry heat!

Snow. OMG the snow!

The only time we got stuck because of snow was in Albuquerque. And it was a few feet.

Aww c'mon.... humidity is great for your hair!

Higher elevation in Montana sounds good to me. That way it's cheaper to ship things then Alaska.

Really?? You must have hit a rare storm because the average for the whole winter is only 11 inches and we usually only get a couple inches at a time. Wake up to snow, mostly melted by the afternoon. I love it.

I don't necessarily think that. They look fine to me, but I just don't know any better. Like when you've had your first hatch and can't see any problems, but by your hundredth hatch you get a second sense for weak chicks.


They bounce around and their bellies look full. They don't cry, they sleep a lot. I'm seen them nibble hay and feed with their mom. Poop is still yellow and squishy. The buckling already stinks like a buck. The doeling likes to stand on my feet. The Big Boys don't seem to mind them. That's all I know.

Well I hope that they continue to progress as they should. What do you mean by the buckling already stinks like a buckling? My buckling doesn't seem to have any particular odor to him and he's still intact.........although he needs to not be.

What breeds do you have?

My wether is a Nubian and the one that's intact is Nubian/Alpine/? cross. He's still a youngster about 10 weeks old or so.

That's awesome. I think my whether a are boer/nubian crosses. They were just starting to really get musky when we banded them.

The buckling doesn't just outright stink, but when you nuzzle him there's definitely a different smell than the doeling. I think I'm hyper-sensitive to the musk, also. If I get around mature billies then I've got that goat stink on the back of my tongue for days. :/

The doeling is ~4.8 lbs and the buckling is ~5.2 lbs. That's bigger than I was expecting. Their bellies are full and they were romping all over this morning.

Ummm!! Tell that to my hair.

You're not supposed to lick them
