from what i've heard, you are better to wait until at least 8 weeks. their urethra needs time to grow, which will help in preventing urinary calculi down the road

Cute video.....and the snow falling on his head was really funny. Everytime I try to take a video of my girls, all I get is noses!

Great photo! Glad to see they are all doing well and mama is keeping up. :)

I had a hawk feast on one of my 5lb full grown rhode island reds yesterday. Was still eating it, right outside the coop, when I went to close the girls in for the night. The other 29 hens and 12 ducks were petrified! :hit I would be very careful of your baby goats. p.s. I was told by...

When a kid is born on your land or farm, it belongs to you. Example- I purchased a doe from "johns farm" and then bought a buck from "janes farm" I proceed to breed them and have kids born on my own property. The sire would be "johns farm so & so" and the doe would be "janes farm so & so" but...
