Nope, no Emily yet. Im still waiting. Had a 45minutes worth of contractions every 5-1 minutes this morning. Almost decided to go in, but they stopped. Ive become a major home body over the past week.

ARGH!!!!!!!!! That is so frustrating...is that the right word ????????????
At this point in time, what's another day ? It means alot to a developing baby, an embryo....every day, every minute cells are dividing & the baby will be stronger & will let you know when she is ready !

zgoat... I have a question in regards to goats.... Are goats like cows in that they have to be breed in order to be in milk?

Yes your right they do have to be.

May I introduce Bumble, our house bird:



The dog would be "Pica". She has learned to wait her turn or Bumble will peck her. NO Bumble does not run loose ALL the time...but she runs loose a lot. Yes, she poops. We have a diaper, but it is too small. so I just clean it up. We have little carpet so it is easy to clean.

Yeah RaZ can ya bleeve dat a shicken in da house. Whay is wrong wiff them peeps?  
Meet Pierre DW's house chicken.        

House chickens??? That is just absurd!!! I can't believe that people are so obsessed with their chickens. Tisk Tisk!

 

[Zgoatlady]

So a question about goats milk?.. Would it work to sustain a very young pup. Meaning the pup might be 4 weeks and already taken from the mom...? Or would the new owner have to buy actual pup formula?

NO this is not my dog. Just trying to help a young stupid family member. Well more trying to help the poor pup than anything else...

Yes it would be good for a pup and really any other animals.

 

[Zgoatlady]

Thats what I thought just checking... Hum now I need to figure out if I wanna go with 2 does, a doe and a buck...... HUMMM

Oh dont get a buck there are so many bucks out there that you can use. Plus I have to see people think they need them only to really hate them becasue they smell so bad and than off to the sale's barn they go.

 

[Zgoatlady]

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I really would rather not have a buck seeing how I dont have a HUGE amount of property so it would be harder to keep him away from the doe after she had a baby. But I do want milk.... Not much just enough to make soap for my family. I am gonna have to look into seeing if I can find someone who offers breeding services or AI.

If you only want milk for soap making later in the spring summer I can hook you up with some.I make 100% goat milk soap and you really dont need that much.
